East of Chilliwack · Short walk
Bridal Veil spreads across a smooth rock face instead of falling as a narrow column. That thin, widening sheet of water gives the falls their name and sets them apart from the deep canyon plunges elsewhere in British Columbia.

The park lies east of Chilliwack and combines waterfall viewing with walking and picnicking. Stay within the official viewing area, particularly when spray, ice or wet ground make the approach slippery. Check the park’s seasonal notices before setting out.
A good stop for a slower Fraser Valley outing. The appeal is the texture and shape of the water rather than sheer volume.

Helmcken is a waterfall on a canyon scale: a single column of water drops away from the forested plateau into an enormous rock amphitheatre. The main viewpoint lets you take in the whole setting, rather than just the falling water.

Takakkaw brings a huge mountain waterfall within reach of a relatively short valley walk. The contrast between the small paved path and the immense rock wall is the heart of the experience.

Shannon Falls fills a steep mountainside beside Highway 99. Water from the Mount Habrich and Mount Sky Pilot area tumbles toward the valley, making this a mountain-scale sight close to the road.
