Shannon Falls Provincial Park
British Columbia 97, Squamish-Lillooet D, BC V0N 1T0, Canada
Shannon Falls Provincial Park is one of the most scenic and frequently visited natural attractions in the Squamish area. The park is home to Shannon Falls, the third-highest waterfall in British Columbia, with water cascading an impressive 335 metres down a towering granite cliff. The sight of the falls, especially during peak spring and early summer runoff, creates a dramatic and powerful display that captivates photographers, nature lovers, and travellers driving the Sea-to-Sky Highway.
The park features easy, well-maintained trails that lead visitors through lush coastal rainforest to several viewpoints offering excellent perspectives of the falls. These short walks are suitable for all ages and provide a refreshing outdoor experience just minutes from the highway. Picnic areas, forested rest stops, and interpretive signs make Shannon Falls a perfect place for families, road-trippers, and anyone looking to appreciate the beauty of BC’s natural landscapes.
Close to other major Squamish attractions such as the Stawamus Chief and the Sea to Sky Gondola, Shannon Falls Provincial Park is an essential stop for anyone exploring the region. Whether you stay for a peaceful picnic or a quick scenic walk, the park’s tranquil setting and towering waterfall create an unforgettable experience.
