Waterfall Detail: This beautiful waterfall is located just north of Woodstock New Brunswick. Phillips Creek flows in a westerly direction toward the Saint John River before it begins a rapid decent to the river valley. The creek has cut a deep ravine through the lush farming country of Carleton county. The Monteith Family property is adjacent to the creek and the falls. They have taken plenty of pride in the area by keeping the area clean of debris as well as mowing the grass alongside the waterfall.
The family does not mind visitors just stop at their home and ask permission. From the Grafton Bridge drive north on route 105 toward Hartland. Look for Sharpe Mountain Road on the right. Turn and drive approximately 1.8 km to the Cooper Road. Turn onto the road and drive out along the road 1.4 km as it skirts along the farm field to the Monteith home.
Visit Detail: We are drawn to waterfalls as if we are programmed to appreciate nature. It is part of who we are as residents of New Brunswick. At least there are a few of us that are. My friend Jason Bennett scouted out this waterfall based on information I had been given. He called me immediately informing of a beautiful waterfall. On the next opportunity we decided to visit the waterfall together and photograph it. In late October I had an opportunity to meet up with Jason and drive out to the waterfalls.
This is a special place. On first glance I was held in awe by this beautiful location. I only wish I could have visited the waterfall earlier when the colours of autumn draped the cliffs that surround the enchanting ravine.
very nice find Nicholas
