Grand Falls - New Brunswick - Waterfalls on Waymarking.com

The St. John River drops 75 feet (23 metres) at one of the largest cataracts east of Niagara Falls. The legendary Maliseet Princess Malabeam led Mohawk warriors to their deaths at the falls, giving it its Maliseet name, Checanenekeag or "Destroyer Place".

For a closer view of this spectacular sight, climb down the 250 steps from the interpretive centre to the “wells in the rocks.”

The falls also provides electrical power by use of a hydro electric dam built in 1931 and provides 66 MW of electricity. (visit link)

Parking is available nearby at the Malabeam Information Centre.
