Waterborough (Grand Lake) NB - Match 14, 2021

 Off to the Grand Lake area which is just south of Fredericton NB.  We are staying in a Dome for 2 nights with a wood fire hot tub.

We started off our weekend doing hikes and looking for waterfalls in the Henderson area.

Our first hike is called McCrae farm.  It is down a dirt road which is about 2KM long. A few hills along the way.  At the end there a few old building including an old school

Now we go back

On the way back, we stopped by a small brook that used to have a sawmill




A few more pics on the way back to the car.

The colour is to indicate what permission is needed to hunt



Almost to the end.


On the walk, someone stopped and talked to us and told us about a waterfall on his land we could go see.  A short hike in the woods for this one.  Most of it was frozen still.




Our final hike for the day was to go see Henderson Falls.  We parked at the end of the dirt road as it look a bit muddy to drive on. About 1 KM walk in on the road with a steep climb down at the end










Fido would have a hard time getting in

Day 2

Very cold today, so we only did a short hike in the woods starting from the dome


Lots of deer tracks

Taco night at the dome



Looks like a deer tack highway




Day 3

After breakfast, we headed out to find the Midland Ice caves


It is a 5KM moderate hike with a big hill to start with.  We missed the first turn and ended doing a bit more hiking.



A long way up. A few icy spots on the flats.



Wendy stayed behind as it was very icy

We stopped at the Midland golf course for a great lunch. Highly recomended.
