Located approximately 20km past Mactaquac park off Route 105 is the small but powerful Howland Falls. I couldn't tell you if there is always this much water pressure coming through the crevice of boulders but Amy, Miray and I went looking for this one after receiving three days of rain showers. I'm sure that had something to do with it.

To view this waterfall, take Route 105 past Mactaquac and head alongside the river to Bear Island. It's a beautiful drive. The falls is located on a dirt road leading up the hillside called the Old Scotch Lake road. It's not a very long drive up the road. Park just before the old concrete bridge. There is a pathway on your right that leads down the hillside to the falls.
I really enjoyed this waterfall, minus all the garbage. This was one of the dirtiest areas I've visited so far - garbage, beer bottles, empty shells and gross soggy towels. Its a shame that people ruin beautiful spots such as this one when it really doesn't take much effort to take your garbage home with you! Aside from garbage, the falls is beautiful! The pathway leads down a very steep hill and you feel like there is a canopy of trees shading you from the outside world.
