Grand Falls Gorge sits in the town of Grand Falls, New Brunswick, Canada, where the Saint John River drops over a 23-metre waterfall and runs through a deep, rocky gorge. The site is also known as the Chutes du Grand-Sault, and its address is 25 Falls Boulevard, Grand Falls, NB E3Z 2J9.
What to expect
The falls are the centrepiece of the visit. Seen from the viewing areas, the river pours down into the gorge with a force that makes the setting feel dramatic and open. The rock walls around the water are part of the same story, showing the layers that the river has cut through over time.
The site is laid out for a walking visit. Trails lead along the gorge, and a suspension bridge crosses above the water, giving a different angle on the falls and the surrounding rock. It is a good stop for anyone who enjoys being outdoors and moving at an easy pace.
Learning about the landscape
An interpretive centre on the site presents the area's geological history, helping visitors understand how the gorge and falls came to be. It suits those who like to know what they are looking at, whether they arrive with a specific interest in geology or simply want some context before walking the trails.
