Over the summer, CBC New Brunswick has been touring the province’s many waterfalls, combining on-the-ground reporting with drone footage to showcase a selection of natural sites that cut through the province’s landscape. Videographer Roger Cosman has visited a range of falls from coastal gorges to inland cascades, drawing attention to both well-known and lesser-seen places.
Where the series has travelled
The series so far includes visits to waterfalls across New Brunswick, with footage and short features that highlight their setting and character. The sites featured to date are:
| Waterfall | General area |
|---|---|
| Fuller Falls | Fundy coast |
| Walton Glen Gorge Falls | Fundy coast |
| Lepreau Falls | Southwestern New Brunswick |
| Welsford Falls | Central New Brunswick |
| Sand Brook Falls | Various inland streams |
| Wallace Falls | Inland area |
| Little Sheephouse Brook Falls | Inland area |
| Pabineau Falls | North-eastern New Brunswick |
| Tetagouche Falls | Near Bathurst area |
| Fall Brook Falls | Near Boiestown |
The pieces mix close-up reporting with aerial perspectives, offering viewers a sense of scale and context for each site. Several of the locations are along the Bay of Fundy coastline while others are found along inland rivers and brooks.
Visual storytelling and local engagement
The project uses drone footage to show how waterfalls are carved into bedrock and surrounding forest, and short on-site segments to describe access and setting. The features have a dual purpose: to celebrate natural beauty and to prompt New Brunswickers to share their local knowledge.

That invitation, included in the series, emphasises that the province’s waterfall inventory is large and partly hidden: there are hundreds of cascades, many known only to local communities, hikers and paddlers.
Why the series matters locally
New Brunswick’s waterfalls are part of the province’s outdoor tourism offer and its cultural landscape. The features help put attention on sites that can enhance local tourism, while encouraging stewardship. Visual stories such as this can also spur curiosity about lesser-known natural assets and help residents and visitors alike discover new places to explore responsibly.
While the series profiles a selection of falls rather than a comprehensive catalogue, it underscores how varied the province’s waterways are—from coastal gorges shaped by tidal forces to quieter inland drops set in mixed forest.
Practical notes for visitors
- Respect posted signs and private property — access varies by location.
- Check local trail and parking information before travelling; conditions can change with weather.
- Use caution near edges and slippery rock surfaces; many falls are surrounded by wet, uneven ground.
These general precautions reflect common-sense steps for visiting natural sites. The series does not replace official park or municipal guidance for any individual waterfall.
The week-by-week features are being uploaded as the summer journey continues. For viewers who want to suggest locations, CBC New Brunswick has provided an email address to submit tips and photographs. The series offers both a visual record of the province’s waterscapes and a prompt for New Brunswickers to look anew at landscapes they may pass by every day.
As the season progresses, further episodes are expected to document more falls and add to the photographic record of these often-hidden elements of New Brunswick’s environment.
