A short easy walk to a beautiful 25ft, 80-degree drop waterfall in West Gore. This waterfall is less than a kilometre walk from where you park round trip.
Important Information – The trail to this fall is an ATV trail before a human trafficked path. The ATV trail heads uphill on a small incline before turning left down the human trafficked path. Expect to walk on exposed roots, rocks, and mud/dirt. The total distance of your walk will be less than 1 kilometre. It is easily navigated due to the presence of green flagging tape. You will see this green flagging tape routes out the easiest way down to the river’s edge as you continue upstream. The waterfall does not have a pool at its base deep enough for a swim or any jumping.

At the end of the off-ramp, turn right and go to the set of lights. Turning left at the lights to begin following Highway 1 towards Lakelands. Once you reach Lakelands, turn right onto Highway 202.
