Falls Detail: Lower Joslin Falls is a little known waterfall located west of Fredericton approximately 5 km past the turnoff to Kings Landing. The Lower Joslin Falls can be reached by parking along the new TCH at kilometer marker 250. The Joslin Creek flows into the Saint John River at Prince William. The creek and falls are named after Andrew Joslin who was the land grantee. In Maliseet the creek is called Seebosis ”Little Brook”. There is a deer gate near the falls that provides quick access and lead to two unmarked paths to the base of the falls. The safest approach is to cross the stream and follow the path down the right hand side of the falls. Extreme caution should be taken as the path is over and around large boulders and there is a vertical drop off into the gorge by the main falls so watch your footing as you follow the path around it and down to the base. The creek drops over a shear/vertical rock face a distance of 10 meters into large boulders.
Visit Detail: Over the past several months I drove up to the falls to take a few pictures. Even though the lower falls is very close to the highway once in the gorge you forget that traffic is merely 100 meters away. The sound of the water crashing into the large boulders and the surrounding cliffs provide a barrier to the intrusive highway. As noted there is no distinct path down into the gorge but the safest and quickest is along the east side of the creek. On the way down I had to scramble over and around large moisture laden boulders while slipping on moss. My effort is rewarded when I reach the bottom. There are several great locations to photograph from but my favorite is from a lookout that faces directly into the wall of water as it crashes into the large boulders.
Visited June 6, 2009 as we visited a geocache at this site. Great view of the falls and a great day to see as the breeze was up and the flies down! Recommend this as a place to visit.
Love this place I remember it well fom my youth,i have always been very proud of the natural beauty of my home province.Thanks for this wonderful site.
Nice job on this nick. Looks amazing
I have been to these falls a few times…they are near to my home…they are beautiful when the water is running fast in the spring.
We visited Lower Joslin for the first time on Oct 17, 2010. This is very convenient to get to, though a challenge to work your way to the base of the falls, as there are many very large granite boulders to work over and around. This is a powerful falls and in a very nice setting. It is also very good that there are two other smaller falls very near by, Upper Joslin just across the highway and Waterloo a few hundred meters to the west of Upper Joslin. Both of these are worth viewing as well. Three falls in one trip is a good thing!
I visited Joslin Falls last night (April 30, 2013) with my son’s cub scout pack. They were indeed beautiful and impressive. It was a bit nerve wracking with the kids but they did better then us adults. I posted a couple of pics on facebook and have had a number of friends ask where it was and commented that they wanted to visit there as well. You put together a terrific website for our province. Bravo!!!
