Howland Falls is located in Bear Island, New Brunswick and is a relatively lesser known set of falls which offers a lovely area to hangout in any season! This waterfall can be found in Bear Island, New Brunswick and certainly one that you’ll want to experience for yourself... perhaps even take a dip in the natural pool beneath the falls!
The trailhead for Howland Falls is located off of Route 105 only 19km past the Mactaquac Provincial Park entrance. Here you will find Scotch Lake road on the right. 900m into the road and just before the stone bridge there is a parking area on the left. There is no trailhead sign, but from the parking area, across the street and to the right about 20m you will find the beginning on the trail. For reference, this is only 17 minutes from Nackawic and 40 minutes from Fredericton.
From the trailhead it is only a short 150m hike to the falls. The total hike is around 300m out and back and should take around 15 minutes total moving time depending on how much you want to explore down the brook. It is upto you how long you would like to spend and enjoy the beautiful views, but i suggest bringing a snack, taking a seat on the rocks or logs and take in the sounds of the falls crashing down. There is a fire pit located near the falls and I have seen many enjoying a small fire, although I cannot recommend this as it is private land and having not spoken with the owner it would be best to respect their land. In saying so, please clean up after yourself and respect the land! I have found most times I am at these falls it is often well taken care of and clean from any trash.
This would be a great adventure for families, friends and pets alike, whether it be for a quick in and out, or a whole day outing. It is possible that there may be others enjoying the trail and falls, but it is equally possible to find yourself alone on the trail to enjoy the experience in solitude.
If you’re looking to spend more time on the trails just head up Route 105 another 13km towards Nackawic to find an unsigned dirt road on the right. Here you will find an unmarked trail to Coac Falls.. Another lesser know New Brunswick gem!
I hope that this video serves as a trail guide for some and as motivation for all to get out and enjoy some waterfalls, mountains and hiking trails wherever you may be!
Happy Hiking🥾
