This place is a must visit destination in this area. Pleasant hike, fenominal views of the river and falls. We had a wonderful time, thanks to the fair weather at the time. Highly recommend, easy path to walk.

We visited the falls on a weekday, during our trip to Vancouver. This falls was not in our itinerary, but made the stop when we saw it from the highway. So glad we did. We were there at the start of October, and it was not crowded. The hike to the falls is about 1.5km long and mostly flat. The last stretch is rocks though, so if raining, it will get slippery. The falls are very beautiful, along with the stream that flows along the trail. Turquoise blue waters nestled by trees on both sides, really a gorgeous sight to behold. It's bear country, so be safe and aware. Tip: From the main viewing platform, go down further along the rocks, to get awesome views of the stream and a second waterfall.

Really cool place to visit. The trail to the falls is moderate, as the sign states, steep banks and fast flowing water. Certainly manageable, though, with decent shoes. Kids and elderly persons can certainly manage the walk. I went off the main pathway (not recommended for inexperienced people of course) and got closer to the river. A really beautiful spot overall, I will return one day.

Visited twice , water flow varies time to time. 2.7 km hike both ways and takes about 50 min going and coming back. Sounds of waterfalls and that foggy water sprinkles adds beauty to this place . Saw a rainbow during sunny day of the hike. Difficulty level is easy from my experience

1.5km hike from the parking lot, took me one hour. It's mostly level but I'd recommend hiking boots because there's some small rocks to walk over on the trail. Don't let your children run or ride their bike on the trail as they could end up in the river below and that would be bad! Campsite is pretty sweet next door too but I imagine it's hard to get a spot during summer
