Welsford Falls has been one of my staple hikes for a quick yet rewarding adventure at any time of the year. In my opinion it is one of the best waterfalls in the province and the perfect place to bring your children to explore and experience the best that nature has to offer.
For my sons birthday he really wanted to check out a waterfall, so of course without hesitation we geared up, grabbed some snacks and hopped in the car prepared for an adventure!
The Welsford Brook Waterfall Trail is only located one minute from the Welsford Irving on an unmarker road. The trailhead is located on the left just before the guardrail and you can park anywhere on the side of the road.
This trail is only 300 meters to the falls, making the total distance 600 meters in and out. You can complete the whole hike in about 10-15 minutes, but it is recommended to stay a while, relax and enjoy the beautiful falls, nature sounds and if youre feeling wild you can even take a dip to cool down in the warmer months.
Despite the trail being short, I would not rate it as easy as the terrain is fairly rough (which I love), but this means that it is not for everyone. If you have trouble going up or down steep inclines or declines. Use your better judgement from what you see in the video and be safe.
As you can imagine, if it is mid week, raining, or relatively not the best weather... you will likely encounter minimal people on the trail... but if it is the weekend and the sun is shining, you will absolutely run into several people enjoying the falls due to its ease of access, proximity to other trails, and central location between Fredericton and Saint John.
This trail pairs extremely well with a summit of Mount Douglas which is only one minute away. It is only a 2.1km in and out trail with 174m of elevation, so it is quite steep. But it is the perfect spot to have a picnic with family, friends and children to cap off your adventure with the amazing views that Mount Douglas has to offer.
I hope that this video serves as a trail guide for some and as motivation for all to get out and enjoy some waterfalls, hiking trails, and mountains (big hills) that our province has to offer!
Happy Hiking🥾
