Crescent Falls, Waterfall in Clearwater County, Alberta, Canada

Crescent Falls is a waterfall in Clearwater County, Alberta, with water dropping about 27 meters from the Bighorn River in two distinct tiers. The cascading water creates a natural formation along rocky cliffs that shape the appearance of the site.

Arthur Philemon Coleman, a geology professor at the University of Toronto, made the first written mention of the falls in 1892, describing them as having "far better scenery than we had been used to in the foot-hills". The falls were originally called the Bighorn Falls, after the Bighorn River; the present name refers to the crescent-shaped cliff over which they drop.

Visitors can reach viewing areas through maintained trails with parking and signs at the entrance. Wear sturdy footwear and check conditions before visiting, especially during winter when ice can make paths slippery.
