Marble Canyon, Limestone canyon in British Columbia, Canada
The canyon walls stretch over 965 meters above Pavilion Lake, featuring white limestone formations and a series of connected lakes draining toward the Fraser River.
The geological formation emerged from a collapsed karst structure, with microcrystalline limestone composing the bedrock rather than actual marble material.
The Shuswap people named this location sxmeltám, and the Pavilion Band maintains special cultural rights over the canyon and Pavilion Lake areas.
The canyon contains 30 vehicle-accessible campsites operating from May through September, with facilities including pit toilets and drinking water from hand pumps.
Pavilion Lake within the canyon contains a colony of microbialites, which rank among the largest freshwater stromatolites found anywhere in the world.
