Shannon Falls Provincial Park, Provincial park near Squamish, Canada

Shannon Falls is a provincial park near Squamish featuring a waterfall dropping 335 meters (1,100 ft) from granite cliffs, making it the third highest in British Columbia. The park includes viewing platforms and trails that allow visitors to see the falls from different angles.

William Shannon bought the land around the falls in 1890 to make bricks; in 1900 he sold it to the Britannia Copper Mine. The property later housed workers building the highway, and the Carling O'Keefe brewery, which used the clear water for brewing, bought it in 1976 and donated it to the province in 1982.

The Squamish First Nation holds the park as spiritually significant. In their legends a two-headed serpent, Say-Noth-ka, moved both in water and on land and carved the falls by repeatedly climbing the mountain, shaping the channel for the water. The falls and surrounding woods also appear in film productions, including Breaking Dawn – Part 1.

The park lies along the Sea to Sky Highway, 2 km south of Squamish and 58 km from Vancouver, with the Sea to Sky Gondola adjoining it. Hikers can see Shannon Creek below the falls and, via the Sea to Summit Trail, above them. The falls rarely freeze; when they do, ice climbers take interest.

The waterfall flows from Mount Habrich and Mount Sky Pilot, which feature rock climbing routes on their adjacent cliff walls. These routes draw serious climbers who combine sightseeing with technical challenges in the same location.
