Laverty Falls – Fundy National Park

St. Andrews, NB

Great day at Mispec

A friend and I spend some time exploring Mispec Park and Cape Spencer today.

The first picture if of a cool crevice high above the shore at Cape Spencer.

I love the name of this fishing vessel: Final Justice.

I’ve walked the trails a Mispec before but forgot about the diverse environments in the area.  This marshy area isn’t far from the road but gave me a great feeling of natural isolation.

I’ve taken a lot of photos of waterfalls including a fair share at Mispec.  I really enjoyed getting some pictures of the fast flowing water after a pretty wet week.

Fundy Trail

Some friends and I decided to act like the yuppies we are and jumped in a buddy’s Jetta and headed to Fundy Trail.  I took these photos in between bites of babaganoush and flat bread from the City Market.

Barbed wire and Partridge Island

I was taking some pictures at Tin Can Beach and was pleased to find this barbed wire to frame the view of Partridge Island.

Mangled barbered wire wasn’t the only discarded metal  on Tin Can Beach.  This old shopping cart has made its home on the rocky shore at the southern tip of central Saint John.

Third Vault Falls: a snowshoeing expedition

A buddy and I though we’d put our new snowshoes to the test over the last couple of weeks.  We practiced up in our hometown leaving our mark in the snowy trails of Rockwood Park.  Then we decided to go for a road trip and headed to Fundy National Park.

We walked about 9.5 km round trip and checked out Third Vault Falls.  We should have taken the lack of tracks near the end of the trail as a sign but we made it all the way to the foot of the falls, ourselves falling more than once (mainly me, to be honest).

The trip was worth vigorous and fun.  Here are some photos I took at the destination.

We plan to head back in the Spring of the year and see the Third Vault when the water is rushing down.  

Cape Spencer Cave

Well below the cliff’s edge at Cape Spencer is this cool rock formation/cave.

Nature Trust Trail

A friend and I came across this Nature Trust of New Brunswick walking trail along the Fundy Coast somewhere around Chance Harbour.  

I believe the property trail is the Belding’s Reef Nature Preserve which according to the the Nature Trust is a 14 acre property.  The trail was a little soggy and parking awkward, but the view from the coast was great – a fishing boat was in action when we were there.
