Sunday trail reviews - Dickson Falls

Dickson Falls is a popular trail in Fundy, known for its spectacular scenery. It's one of the shorter trails in the park and also one of the more scenic. I think I'll stop writing for a few minutes and let these pictures do the talking for me! This review won't be as in-depth as the last one as there is and was always only one way to do Dickson Falls!


After a particularly heavy rain, the falls are always larger. On a hot summer's day, their spray is very cool and refreshing. Just the sight of all the lush greenery in the area is enough to have you feeling cooled off, even if you aren't really. There are cave-like areas among the wooden stairs that drip water off bright green moss.

Here are a couple more pictures before I get to the trail specs. It's really better if you just go on the trail yourself!


Rating (out of five)

Trail - 4 and a half footprints. If only it were a little longer!

Difficulty - 3 and a half footprints. Lots of stairs and a few hills to walk up and down, but the trail is short, which makes up for it.

Length - less than 2 km, roughly a half an hour walk. Perfect for families!
