Mary Ann Falls
A multi-tiered waterfall on the east side of the national park. The pool below is swimmable in summer, and it is just a short walk from the car park.
The falls lie on Mary Ann Brook in the eastern part of the national park. The water splits into two tiers before dropping into a wide, deep pool, where locals often swim and dive in summer. To reach the car park, leave the Cabot Trail and follow a gravel road for about 7 km. A few minutes' walk brings you to the falls, an easy stop on a road trip. The gravel road is closed in winter, and the rocks are slippery, so take care.
