Please don't trespass, don't litter, and stay on the trail.

This is a very small cascade about 600-700 m upstream from the main attraction near the Trans-Canada Highway. At lower flows, it snakes through a depression carved into a low rock mound. I've never visited, but have been told that the trail isn't well marked and can be wet in places.

This waterfall is coded yellow because the trail isn't in great condition. It is easy to find; just follow the river! But requires more effort than the easy falls downstream.
