Brooks Falls

Brooks Falls, the smaller sister to Sandstone Falls, is a 4 foot drop that spans the 1000 foot width of the river. Though the name suggests it as a waterfall, Brooks Falls is perhaps better described as a runnable, Class III rapid. The Brooks Falls Roadside Park provides a small observation of the Falls’ vista, as well as restroom facilities, picnic spots, and river access.

Sandstone Falls Boardwalk

Sandstone Falls is a sight that should not be missed. This is the largest waterfall on the New River spanning 1500 feet across. Divided by islands, the falls drop from 10 to 25 feet. A ¼ mile, wheelchair accessible boardwalk crosses two bridges leading to islands and observation decks offering fantastic views of the falls.
