Facebook GroupUnfortunately, there really is no natural waterfall at Burk's Falls. This may not always have been the case, but today, the falls consists of a boulder rapids and a small dam. There is some bedrock at the left base of the dam.
If you are looking for real waterfalls, Burk's Falls isn't one of them. But I've still included it here because many people see this on the map and wonder about it. And even though there may not be a rock fall, it's still a pleasant pit stop with falling water.
The town's Heritage Walk starts here, and a nice wooden footbridge over the rapids provides a decent spot to get out and get a stretch.
