Laverty Falls Trail
A forest descent to a broad curtain waterfall and a popular natural swimming pool.
Route overview
Laverty Falls Trail in Bay of Fundy / Atlantic Canada.
The route travels 2.5 km each way through Acadian forest to Laverty Falls. The waterfall and pool are rewarding, but the return climb, wet rocks and cold moving water require more care than the moderate classification may suggest.
