Horseshoe Falls

Horseshoe Falls consists of an upper drop measuring 6 meters and a lower section reaching 10 meters along the Murtle River system.

Land surveyor Robert Henry Lee named the falls in 1914 while mapping homesteaders' lots adjacent to the Murtle River's southern border.

The waterfall forms part of a network of seven cascades within Wells Gray Provincial Park, contributing to the region's natural heritage.

Visitors can reach the falls through a 14-kilometer hiking trail starting from Pyramid Campground, following markers along Clearwater Valley Road.

The waterfall features a natural raft crossing point between its location and Meadow Falls, where the river flow significantly decreases.
