Pockwock Falls
Highlight • Waterfall
Pockwock Falls is a small waterfall on Pockwock Brook near Hammonds Plains in Nova Scotia. The falls flow over a short rock ledge surrounded by mixed forest, and are reached by following informal paths that branch off nearby access roads. The approach is straightforward but involves natural terrain, roots, and uneven ground typical of local backwoods trails. It’s a quiet spot to pause along the brook, offering a modest cascade rather than a large drop, and is best visited during periods of higher water flow.
