Highlights Throughout the Year

  • Dickson Falls always dresses for the season, so visit it often to experience the differences.
  • The most accessible waterfall of the park which contains dozens... really!
  • In the summer, the waterfall environment creates an oasis for many species of ferns.
  • A cool place to be on a hot summer’s day!
  • In the fall Dickson Brook babbles down towards the Bay of Fundy carrying flashes of gold, yellow, and red as leaves fall off the Acadian Forest trees.
  • Interpretive panels tell you the story of the diversity of life in this small river valley.
