Often times, the best activities are those known to the locals.
At the top of T's list to do during our annual summer visit to his grandparents in Beresford was to swim at Nigadoo Falls.
It's a beautiful, rocky and fresh water spot tucked in the woods, off the unassuming Rue du Moulin in Nigadoo, the town next to Beresford.
We parked our car at the side of the road and hiked a short 1 km trail.
There was a very steep and narrow downhill hike as we neared the falls.
Then the beautiful oasis revealed itself.
We first visited in 2021 and the view still takes my breath away.
The water was so refreshing and clean.
T, his cousin A, the hubby and I and had a blast swimming, while T's grandad watched us from the rocks.
There are very deep parts within water where locals jumped off the rocks into the water - such as the brave individual pictured below from 2021.
I can verify the water gets very deep, because my ears popped when I swam to the bottom to fish out goggles that T had dropped. 😆
T has come a long way with his swimming skills.
This was the first summer we let him swim without a lifejacket, so he could explore the deep water.
I thought back with amusement to our first visit in 2021 when mischievous youth emptied a bottle of detergent at the top of the falls and created an impromptu foam party.
After our swim, we hung out by the rocks and enjoyed snacks, including Pringles for T.
A beautiful monarch butterfly hung out with us.
When we got home, we enjoyed a delicious pasta salad T's Grammy prepared and I made air fried chicken thighs to go with them.
