Mare Aux Joncs
Mare aux Joncs waterfall, located in the Black River Gorges National Park, can be reached from either the Black River entrance (west side) or the Petrin Information Center. The Mare aux Joncs waterfall viewing area is ideal for nature treks. It offers many pathways with varying levels of difficulty, making it suitable for everyone. It starts at the Black River Gorges National Park's Riviere Noire entrance. The track is well-shaded, simple to follow, and the terrain is not very difficult. There are a few river crossings that will undoubtedly get your feet wet!
The only waterfall in the Black River Gorges that can be seen from the front is this one. It's a lovely waterfall to rest, replenish, and eat lunch before returning. Swimming is possible; however it is not encouraged because to the rough terrain. You will be able to relax in the surrounding virgin green valley, which is home to several rare avian species and vegetation. If you start at Petrin, follow the purple Macchabee Forest Loop Trail signs until you reach a fork in the trail. Continue straight ahead on a level area until the trail begins to descend. You'll ultimately reach the top of the waterfalls after roughly an hour.
