McInnis Brook Falls (aka Silence Falls)


Location: Mines Rd. in West Gore
Hiking Time: 15 minutes one way
Difficulty: Easy to moderate
Size: 30'




Directions

-Drive to the town of Brooklyn and turn left (if you are coming from the glooscap trail) at the war memorial onto highway 215
-Follow highway 215 past the Irving station until you come to a T intersection and turn right (onto Highway 236).
-Follow Highway 236 for about 20km until you get to Clarksville where you will make a right turn onto highway 202.
-Follow highway 202, staying to your left, until you come to Mines Rd (it will be a fairly sharp right turn onto a dirt road).
-Follow this road about 1km and park just beyond where the stream crosses the road. You may have to pay attention because it's not obvious at first glance. There is also a little road or pathway on the left you'll notice where the trail starts. You'll notice here is a house on the right just before this.
-Park along the side of the road.

Trail Description 

Follow the trail along the right side of the stream until it ends. At this point just pick a spot that seems suitable and descend to the stream, following it until you reach the falls. You will either have to climb up the hill and around the stream at some points or get your feet wet, the choice is yours.
