Lower Gooseberry Falls August 2007

I think the drought the North Shore was in most of the summer is officially over. We have received rain for about four weeks now. This week we got 5” to 6” in one day depending on where you were on the shore.

During the months of July and August you were able to walk across the Gooseberry River in just about any spot you wanted. This week you didn’t even want to get close. The water came out of its banks in several locations dragging trees down the river and piling drift wood on the beaches. Many park visitors were awestruck with the power of the millions of gallons of water that are coming over the falls every minute.
