Canim Falls, Waterfall in Wells Gray Provincial Park, British Columbia, Canada.
Canim Falls drops 25 meters in two sections divided by a central island, creating a powerful cascade within a 4-kilometer canyon of volcanic rock.
The name originates from Chinook Jargon, where 'Canim' refers to a large canoe, indicating the historical importance of water transportation in this region.
Indigenous communities of British Columbia utilized the river systems around Canim Falls for navigation and resource gathering through generations.
Visitors can reach the falls through marked trails from Mahood Lake Road, with spring offering the strongest water flow due to mountain snowmelt.
Underground springs emerge through layers of lava in the canyon walls, creating water plumes that add to the falls' geological composition.
