Ready, set, go! It’s waterfall time – get here and feel the flow! 
3 minutes from the Beaver River Falls, 10 minutes from Gooseberry Falls State Park, 10 minutes from Tettegouche State Park, a 20 minute drive to the Caribou Falls Trailhead, and 30 minutes to Temperance River State Park.. North Shore Camping Co is the best basecamp if you’re chasing waterfalls. And spring…is the best time to go!
Spring is when the snow melts, which fills the streams, who feed the rivers, and then the falls do their thing. The crowds are few, you won’t find any bugs, and it’s the time of year when the forest feels brand new.
Plus…waterfalls are good for you! Here are a few things that the sound of water can do:

  • White Noise: When you’re at the waterfall – it’s all about the waterfall. The constant vibrational sound brings on the calm.
  • Stress Less” Soothing water sounds can reduce state anxiety, lower heart rate, and stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system – that’s your relaxation depot station.
  • Get Some Sleep: Mask other sounds with the soothing sounds of water – you’ll wake up renewed.
  • Negative Ions – Feel Good: Waterfalls produce negative ions which are thought to increase serotonin levels, which can lead to happy thoughts.

Get to it! Plan your waterfall trip this spring. Get to the waterfalls! Get happy!
