Silver Fox Falls

Yes! A must-do! Soon after a mildly painful walk into Righwash Brook Falls (not because of its length but because of high water, rain, rock scum, and the decision to go at twilight), I suggested we do Silver Fox Falls. I was truly hoping that this would be a better and easier experience since we were just intending on a short evening trek, and I was not disappointed. It's easy to find, easy to get to (despite a small amount of brook-navigating), and easy to enjoy.

Near the old (and now closed) Cheticamp Building Supplies, lies an old dirt road at N46 34.798 W061 01.365. We were driving the Civic so parked at the home on the hill and followed the trail. An ATV would be able to continue on and drive almost right to the falls.




A natural tub--a small pool just above the falls, surrounded by rock.

Hopping up to the top of the falls is surprisingly easy--both of us had no trouble, even without rope, since there were a lot of footholds.

  1. Save this waterfall for a day after a nice rain. You won't be disappointed and the waterfall will be raging off the canyon. Don't forget to swim in the pool at the base of the falls.
