About

The scenic Waterfall Trail (70 m one-way) slopes down to a viewing area of the impressive falls. Respect signage and stay within the guardrails; the falls are very dangerous. The Creek Trail (150 m one-way) goes down to the creek and a picnic area below the falls. A good spot to observe the aftereffects of a flood event in the canyon. To extend your walk, head up the Switchbacks to the Upper Loop trail for a 2 km round trip. For the upper loop, take the Switchbacks trail and climb the switchbacks up the hillside. Stay right at the top of the Switchbacks trail starting on the Upper Loop trail, then turn left at the FSR. Follow the FSR downhill for 460 m and watch for the trail sign and short boardwalk on the left to connect the loop and bring you back to the top of the Switchbacks trail. Take the switchbacks back down to the parking lot. Please refrain from cutting across the switchbacks as the steep, loose hillside is prone to erosion issues.


Access

Travel approx. 3.6 km south of Sicamous on Hwy 97A along the east side of Mara Lake. Turn left onto Two Mile Rd and go 400 m to the parking lot on the right. A sign with a map is posted in the parking area.
