Tucked away near Colinet on Newfoundland’s Avalon Peninsula, Cataracts Provincial Park is one of those underrated spots that may surprise you. Think lush greenery, cascading waterfalls, and a 1920s stone arch bridge that looks like it belongs in a fairytale.
Whether you’re into short hikes or just want a peaceful place to have a picnic, this little gorge has you covered. It’s also a dream for photographers—especially after a good rain when the waterfalls are really flowing.
If you’re road-tripping through Newfoundland, definitely add this one to your list—it’s the kind of quiet beauty that sticks with you.
