Those who have followed my blog for a while saw my post from August where I tried to reach Hidden Falls but the high water in the brook prevented my attempt at crossing. I tried twice more… to mo avail.
Last Thursday, October 5th, my friend and I stopped on the way back from Five Islands Provincial Park to see if we could find Hidden Falls without getting our feet too wet.
Much to my surprise, the water in the brook had subsided and a few trail improvements had occurred since my last attempt. The hike is not long, some metal pieces had been strategically placed across the stream and crossing was easy. The sound of rushing water propelled us forward and before we knew it, the Hidden Falls beckoned!
What a rush! Hidden Falls will be on my personal go-to quick-hike-to-clear-my-head list from now on.
Do yourself a favour: get out and experience Hidden Falls before winter. This is an easy hike. The convenient parking lot just off the #2 in New Prospect offers shade as does the trail. Bring a picnic and listen to the rushing water. The sound will wash away sadness and negative thoughts, forest bathing at its finest!
