Brandywine Falls Provincial Park

Brandywine Creek plunges 70 meters from the edge of a volcanic rock formation, creating a vertical cascade into the Cheakamus Valley below.

The park received its name when two railway surveyors made a wager for a bottle of brandy regarding their estimations of the waterfall height.

The expanded parkland protects natural habitats of red-legged frogs, a species at risk in British Columbia, while offering recreational opportunities for visitors.

During winter months, vehicle access remains restricted as the main gate closes, requiring visitors to enter the park exclusively by foot.

Four distinct basaltic lava flows from the Late Pleistocene period form the vertical walls that frame the waterfall structure.
