Canim Falls Canim - Mahood Hiking Trail Mahood Falls

Canim Falls / Mahood Falls Hiking Trail is a short, leisurely 1 kilometre hike along a very well maintained wheelchair access hiking trail leading to two, yes two, spectacular waterfalls. The easy grade hiking trail begins near Canim Lake just down from Wells Gray Provincial Park located east of the community of 100 Mile House, British Columbia, Canada.

The short 1 kilometre hiking trail leading to the waterfalls explores along a high ridge overlooking a river valley passing by steep rock cliffs and canyon walls. Although the trail is wide and very well groomed, please keep away from the edges as the trail drops off quickly to the canyon below. When hiking with children keep them close.

From the trailhead it is a short 0.5 kilometre hike to the first falls - Mahood Falls - which is a 15 metre (49 feet) waterfall created from a Mahood Lake outlet creek. Once at the falls there is a fenced viewpoint, peering out through the trees looking straight out at the falls.

Continue hiking along the same trail for a few more hundred metres and you will come across another fenced lookout area overlooking Canim Falls which is a 20 metre (66 feet) waterfall created from an outlet creek, also, draining out from Mahood Lake.

Look closely to your right when visiting Canim Falls viewpoint and there is a rough, well hidden, access trail leading down to the base of the waterfall. The route is steep and is covered in loose gravel and exposed tree roots. At the base of the falls, the views take on a new feel as you can get up close and personal to the falls and get wet from the mist.

There is a pit toilet, bear proof garbage bins and some directional signs marking the trail located at the trailhead. Parking for the trail is limited and along the road. Once finished exploring the Canim - Mahood Waterfalls take some time to explore Deception Falls which is located up the road deeper into Wells Gray Park.

How to Get to Canim - Mahood Falls: From the community of 100 Mile House travel north for 1 kilometre and then turn right onto the Canim-Hendrix Rd. Continue past Forest Grove following the signs to Mahood Lake. Look for the gravel 8100 Road leading to Wells Gray Park. 4 kilometres south of the Wells Gray is the trailhead.

Contact information for the local 100 Mile House community accommodations, tours, guides, activities, campgrounds, golf courses, attractions, realtors, etc. are posted under the community links listed to your right. >>>
