Near the top of the waterfalls located just past the trip wires, you can find a corpse with a Common Dagger and a note behind the waterfalls.

Facing the Adra pillar, turn right and into a room to find the switch on the wall. Interact with the switch to open the false wall. Note that there's a Dreamthrall Swarmer inside, as well as a lockbox containing Vambraces!
Opening this room also grants you the Hawkeye Achievement!

In the same room as the Adra pillar, you will also encounter a corpse with a round shield, and a key to the Fort Northreach Storage room, both of which you can collect.
The door to the storage room is closer to where you first came from, and contains a Health Potion and a Chest!

To the left of the Adra pillar, you can also find a breakable wooden wall inside a room with a fireplace and a mounted animal head. The room behind the breakable wall contains an apple and entries of the Steadman's Log which is related to the main quest's lore.

When the main quest takes you to get the Common Bow in the rafters, you'll come across a pile of crates that are hiding a Backpack filled with items you can collect!

You can open the jail cell beside Ilora's cell by using the Fort Northreach Jail Key. Once inside, crouch to get to the leftmost cell and get Deerskin Gloves from the corpse.

On the way to the next area and just past the brambles you had to burn, you will come across a pool and another waterfall. You can swim to the bottom of the falls to get to a Chest!

While continuing the On Strange Shores main quest, you'll come across a bunch of Xaurips and another waterfall at the end of a stream, which hides a backpack behind it that contains Deerskin Boots.

In the same arena where you encounter Steadman Ralke during the On Strange Shores main quest, you can find a small cave to the right that leads into a pool. Follow the resulting path all the way to a ledge above the arena where a Backpack is located.

Fort Northreach is the very first area where you start the story in Avowed, and where the main tutorial for the game takes place.
You can no longer return to Fort Northreach after completing the main quest in the area and traveling to Dawnshore.
