Visit of the Dawson Falls in British Columbia, Canada

Driving further along the Clearwater Valley Road up into the park you’ll find Dawson Falls. A 10 minute walk through an old growth forest lets you watch water cascade over 200,000 year old lava beds.

This is an impressive terraced waterfall which cascades across ancient lava beds creating a shallow veil of water which spans the 90 metres (295ft) across the width of the Murtle River. With two vantage points to snap the perfect picture, you can get up close to the roaring river cascading down Dawson Falls or take in the striking view a little further downstream of the entire waterfall.
Dawson Falls is one of seven waterfalls on the Murtle River in Wells Gray Provincial Park, British Columbia, Canada.
We spent many days in this park. It has many interesting hiking trails, numerous spectacular waterfalls and a very beautiful lake. The trails as well as the paths to the waterfalls are well signposted. The park is very clean and there are plenty of toilets. If you want to see waterfalls, this is the place for you.
