At a glance
Overview
Cobscook Falls is a tidal reversing-falls site at Mahar Point in Pembroke, viewed from Reversing Falls Park / Reversing Falls Preserve. The current flips direction with the tide as Cobscook Bay water funnels past the point, and the current runs fast enough that swimming and wading are prohibited. Access is via a short easy walk from the end-of-road town lot.
