Lepeau Falls are really easy to get to and are on the Fundy Coast Drive making this a very scenic drive.

“This location below Lepreau Falls was important to smugglers
during the United States Prohibition years (1920-1933), when the sale of liquor
was illegal in the United States. At
night, in this relatively isolated spot, the bootlegger could load his boat
with liquor without being seen. Quietly
he would travel out to a ship waiting for him about 8 kilometers offshore.
The ship’s captain would pay the bootlegger well. Liquor
smuggled from New Brunswick to Maine sold for top dollar on the black-market.”
The geopark covers 2500 square kilometers and extends from
Lepreau Falls to Norton and from the Fundy Trail to the Kingston
Peninsula. There is strong evidence that
the rocks are very likely to be early
carboniferous age that is about 315-325 million of years old
