Confirmed from Beaver Brook Falls Nature Walk's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
What runners say about Beaver Brook Falls Nature Walk
“I was a bit bummed the waterfall is not quite how you'd expect but it was easy, gorgeous and just really peaceful.”

“Very easy walk in but difficult to see waterfall from the road and no clear path to the water.”
Short walk up an old paved road. Waterfall is in a gorge making it a icy climb down to the falls.
I loved this walk so so much! I was a bit bummed the waterfall is not quite how you'd expect but it was easy, gorgeous and just really peaceful. It also has a lovely horror aesthetic! Could be great for cosplays, creepy photo ops, mild post apocalyptic theme... delightful!
Very easy walk in but difficult to see waterfall from the road and no clear path to the water. Just below the falls you can climb over guard rails and there’s a steep semipath to water’s edge and a view.
Really nice walk, the falls were beautiful, if a bit tricky to get to with no established path down.
