A Walk to Shingle Mill Falls

Shingle Mill Falls

So, we are all in lockdown. The end is not really in sight… but we can travel around with our little bubble in our municipality. Hubby and I decided to see if we could find  a new trail-not that easy since we have done a lot of them in Kings County. My phone search gave us Shingle Mills Falls. It was short walk but still very nice.

It was one of the prettiest little falls I’ve seen in a while.

As lockdown days go, it was a quite enjoyable one- new waterfall, topped off with a ice cream from Jonny’s CookHouse in Berwick on the way home.

Directions

Take  Exit 15 off Highway 101
Turn right  onto Highway 1, and turn left onto Aylesford Rd

Drive about 11 km and take a right onto  a logging road marked  with a white sign and the # 8
Then drive 3.9 kms . You will pass two other dirt  roads on the left before you will come to the right one.
Directly cross from this road is a sort of path that looks like this:

For good measure, I added some decor  at the beginning of the road to the falls.

The walk to the falls is only about a km. along the dirt road. The falls is on your right-if you’ve gone as far as the bridge just backtrack a few steps. There are several marked trails to get to the falls, but I suggest this  way-it is easier. And impossible to miss.

You could drive right to the trail head of  falls if you wanted to..but what fun is that? It’s only about a 15 minute walk and the falls is practically right beside the road. All paths down to the falls are slippery with leaves so take care.
