Mahood Falls

Mahood Falls cascades 30 meters down in a north channel of Canim River between Canim Lake and Mahood Lake, forming a natural water display.

The falls received their name in the 1950s when locals selected this location to direct tourists inquiring about waterfalls in the region.

The formation stems from volcanic rock deposits in the Wells Gray-Clearwater field, where floods carved canyons at the end of the ice age.

The waterfall requires a 10-minute walk on a marked trail from Mahood Lake Road, followed by another 10 minutes to reach Canim Falls.

A natural bridge formation stands in the cliffs beside the trail, representing one of only three such structures in Wells Gray Park.
