Gold Rush Cemetery & Reid Falls
Gold Rush Cemetery
A gold rush-era cemetery in the woods, where both sides of a gunfight rest. A few minutes' walk behind it is Reid Falls.
The Gold Rush Cemetery lies in woodland by the railway, about 3 km north of town. It holds the graves of gold rush-era residents. The most famous are 'Soapy' Smith, who died in the same shootout that killed the town hero Frank Reid. Smith's grave is at the edge of the cemetery. A path behind it leads to Reid Falls, which drops about 90 m. It can be reached on foot from the town center in about 40 minutes, or by bike. Entry is free, but mosquitoes in the woods can be a nuisance.
