Wilderness Landscape & Natural Heritage
Shannon Falls Provincial Park is a must-visit destination for anyone traveling in the Sea to Sky Corridor in British Columbia. The park is home to the third highest waterfall in British Columbia, Shannon Falls, which plunges 335 meters down a dramatic cliffside. The park is easily accessible from the Sea to Sky Highway, making it a popular stop for tourists and locals alike. The lush temperate rainforest, characterized by towering evergreen trees and an understory rich with ferns and mosses, envelops visitors in a serene natural atmosphere. The origins of the park are tied to the history of the Squamish Nation and early European settlers in the area. Visitors can enjoy short hikes on well-maintained trails that offer various vantage points of the falls. While the main attraction is undoubtedly Shannon Falls itself, the park provides an excellent opportunity for picnicking, photography, and a family-friendly exploration of the natural beauty of British Columbia.
