Sandy Pond Falls

This waterfall is located just east of the inlet for Trout River Big Pond, on the south side of the valley, in Gros Morne National Park. Several references we'd seen placed it at around 400 meters. This however, appears to be a measurement of the differences in elevation between Sandy and Trout River Big Ponds. We had previously speculated the falls could be as high as 500 meters tall, but this was a result of poor mapping. The falls, based on recent topographic maps, appear to drop a total of about 220 meters, which still makes it among the tallest in Newfoundland. The NRCan topographical maps indicate a sheer plunge of 91 meters, followed by steep cascades over the lower reach of the cliff face.
