The stream is mostly serene as it gathers water from lakes and wetlands but that changes about two kilometres from its confluence with the Saint John River, says Guitard.
"(It) suddenly knifes through the mountainside, dropping rapidly over a distance of 600 metres" and producing four beautiful falls, he writes in "Waterfalls of New Brunswick: A Guide" (Goose Lane Editions).
The book describes 100 falls, giving directions to each one and rating the difficulty of access.
The Shogomoc falls are among those Guitard lists as "highly recommended." Others in that category include:
-McLeod Brook Falls in Saint John County: A stairway aids the descent into the gorge, where "the ionized air is both uplifting and energizing."
-Trickle Falls, Kings County: "A jewel of a site hidden off one of the many country roads in the Kennebecasis River Valley."
-Stillwater Falls, Restigouche County: Part of the Stillwater Brook watershed, one of New Brunswick's "truly magnificent wild places."
-Jennings Falls, Carleton County: "This dazzling notched and tiered waterfall is a must-see."
-Laverty Falls, Albert County: Flows across a rock face, forming "a shimmering bridal veil of water." Located in Fundy National Park.
