Bridal Veil Falls Provincial Park, Provincial nature reserve near Rosedale, Canada.
Bridal Veil Falls Provincial Park is a nature reserve in British Columbia featuring a major waterfall that cascades down a wide rock face. The park includes a network of walking trails that connect observation areas where visitors can view the falling water from different angles.
In the early 1900s, the waterfall's power was harnessed for electricity generation, and concrete foundations from the old generators remain visible at the site. This development reflects early efforts to use the water's natural force for industrial purposes.
The park stands on the historical grounds of Popkum village, where Indigenous communities established settlements dating back to the 1700s.
The park is open from April through October, and the main loop trail takes about 30 minutes to complete. Be prepared for wet conditions near the waterfall and wear appropriate footwear.
During winter months, the falling water transforms into an unstable ice wall that continually shifts and changes. These temporary ice formations look completely different from one day to the next throughout the cold season.
