Notes

Due to widespread flooding damage in June 2013, picnic facilities have been removed.
The Falls viewpoint and parking lot remain open. We plan to replace and upgrade the riverside interpretive trail at this site.
Picnic facilities are open at other Elbow Valley sites, including Allen Bill, Station Flats, Elbow River Launch, Beaver Lodge, Powderface, Cobble Flats, and Forgetmenot Pond.
