Crescent Falls Day Use

The Day Use Area has a new staircase that leads to several newly renovated platforms for visitors to safely enjoy the views of the falls. 

In order to maintain public safety, the area above and below the waterfalls are managed as a special protective zone and access is prohibited. Stay in the day use areas, designated trails and behind fences and barricades at all times for your safety. 

The Bighorn Canyon Trail can be accessed here and rewards hikers with elevated views of both sets of waterfalls along the trail. It begins at the day use area near the viewing platforms. The trail is approximately 3 kilometres long (one-way) and rated to be a moderate hike due to the steep cliff edge. The end of the trail overlooks Bighorn Canyon at a viewpoint. Return the way you came. Please be cautious when hiking and ensure you have proper footwear. 

• Visitors must park at the upper parking lot, where a new trail leads to the day use area. The trail is 800 metres in length and has an elevation gain of 66 metres and is rated moderate to expert skill level due to the incline. 
• There is no general parking near the waterfalls or within the campground. A drop off zone is available near the platform, along with designated parking stalls for those with an accessible parking placard.
