Description
This hike is one of the more challenging single-day hikes we offer in the summer. Prepare for 5-6 hours of hiking deep into the ancient old-growth forest within the Margaree Wilderness Area to a two-tiered waterfall very few know of, let alone visit. There is very little trail to follow which will require some bushwhacking at times, climbing over wet rocks, and crossing the river (yes, you’ll be getting your feet wet) but, if you’re up for the challenge, we highly recommend this one! This is by far our favorite hikes to do in the summer months.
