Conception Harbour Overfalls
Highlight • Waterfall
Located near the head of Conception Harbour, the Overfalls are a seasonal cascade where freshwater from the hills above drops over a rock shelf and flows into the inlet. After heavy rain or spring melt the falls are impressively full, creating a curtain of white water that contrasts with the calm harbour below. Surrounded by forested slopes, boulders, and mossy groundcover, the site feels surprisingly wild for being just minutes from town. It’s a popular photography spot and one of the most scenic natural features in the harbour area.

Colliers River
Highlight • River
Flowing through the community of Colliers and into Conception Bay, Colliers River is a calm freshwater river bordered by forested banks, alder thickets, and small openings shaped by old farmland. Much of the river runs close to Route 60 and Pondside Road, making it easy to access for short walks or quiet shoreline stops. Anglers know the river for trout in the upper stretches, while locals often use the unofficial footpaths along the lower sections for nature walks and photography. Its mix of wooded edges and gently moving water gives it a peaceful, tucked-away feel despite being close to the main road.
