Myra Falls, Seven-tiered waterfall in Strathcona Provincial Park, British Columbia, Canada.
Myra Falls is a multi-tiered waterfall descending 61 meters into Buttle Lake from a hanging valley in the forested wilderness of Strathcona Provincial Park. The complete system spans around 305 meters with each tier forming its own pools before waters converge into the lake below.
The waterfall was named after Myra Ellison, daughter of Price Ellison, who participated in an exploratory survey of Strathcona in 1910. This early exploration helped establish the region's protected status.
The waterfall forms part of the natural landscape where Vancouver Island meets pristine forested valleys. It serves as a focal point for visitors exploring this protected wilderness area.
The waterfall can be reached by a 1.5 kilometer hiking trail from the Myra Falls mine gate or by boat across Buttle Lake. The trail passes through forest while the boat option offers a more relaxed approach to the site.
The waterfall descends in seven clearly separated tiers, with each tier forming its own pools and offering different vantage points for viewing and photography. This structure allows visitors to experience different sections from multiple angles along the trail.
