Hidden along the Bay of Fundy, Black Hole is one of our favorite sites to visit. You would never stumble across it on your own without directions. A scenic walk along a stream brings you to the top of a gorgeous waterfall. After enjoying the view of the falls, journey 5 minutes along the stream to Black Hole Cove. If you timed your visit with low tide you will be able to explore sea-carved caves and unique rock formations. Be sure to keep your eyes open for amethyst and other semi-precious stones!

Directions to the Falls and Cove:
What maps show as Bigelow Cove Rd is obviously not an existing road, but a path through the woods fit only for walking or ATV’s. Follow this trail for 10 minutes until you reach a small stream bed (this may have running water if there has been lots of rain). Follow the stream bed to the left a few meters until you come to a larger stream.

For a top view of the waterfall, stay on the west (near) side of the stream until you reach the top of the falls. Be very careful.

For a bottom view of the falls and to get to the cove, you must cross the stream at some point. There are usually rocks and fallen trees to assist you. Follow the far side of the stream until you reach the waterfall. There are usually ropes present to assist you as you climb down the very steep path. At the bottom you will experience and incredible view of the falls. Continue downstream to reach the cove. Be wary of the tides.
