Meadow Falls, Waterfall in Wells Gray Provincial Park, British Columbia, Canada

Meadow Falls is a waterfall dropping about 8 meters into the Murtle River within Wells Gray Provincial Park in British Columbia. The river moves slowly through a series of marshes above and below the falls in an area called The Stillwater.

A Canadian Pacific Railway surveyor named Joseph Hunter discovered the falls during his exploration of the region on May 26, 1874. This discovery was part of the early mapping efforts of central British Columbia's mountain regions in the late 1800s.

The name Meadow Falls refers to the marshes along the slow stretch of the Murtle River known as The Stillwater, not to a meadow at the falls themselves. Hunter named the river and Murtle Lake after Milton of Murtle near Aberdeen, his Scottish birthplace. The falls lie between McDougall Falls upstream and Horseshoe Falls downstream.

The falls are difficult to reach for most visitors because there are no maintained trails and the terrain consists of challenging marshland. You will need proper equipment and experience to navigate the area.

The falls are part of a sequence of seven consecutive waterfalls on the Murtle River, including the better-known Helmcken Falls and Dawson Falls. This makes the region unusual for having multiple cascades clustered so closely together.
