A Walk to Shingle Mill Falls
Shingle Mill Falls Updated April 26/2026 As early spring days go, it was a quite enjoyable one- first a walk to Shingle Mill waterfall, topped off with a ice cream from Jonny’s CookHouse in Berwick on the way home. Not much has changed since the last time we were here except of course the horrible wildfire that took place in 2025, during the drought. A lot of the area was scorched as we drove towards the waterfall and I silently thanked the men and women who risked their lives fighting those fires. A Bit of History Shingle Mill Falls was named after the lumber operations that operated in the…

Morse’s (Moore’s) Brook Falls
More Kings County explorations. This time it’s Morse Brook Falls in New Minas. This is a spot I’ve wanted to find since an acquaintance mentioned it to me….

Now, the path up the brook can…

Economy River Falls
Updated June 3rd. The trail to the falls is now cleared and is not a jungle anymore-thanks to whoever did the bush whacking It’s been years since I have been to Economy Falls-can’t even guess at how long. But being semi retired means one can pick up and go when the mood strikes them-usually. That’s what we did on a recent beautiful spring day -just packed a lunch and headed out for beautiful Colchester County. and the hike to the falls. First though, we had to get to the trail head. The road was a tad rough. Then at the trail head, we had to practically bush wack our way…
