Shannon Falls
About Shannon Falls
Shannon Falls, located within the Shannon Falls Provincial Park, is a popular destination. The waterfall is visible from the side of the road. At 1,105 feet (335 metres), this is British Columbia's third highest waterfalls.
The bottom of the falls can be reached via a short path, whereas the top of the falls are reached along a more extended and slippery path. Best times to view the falls are in the spring and late fall, when the water levels are at their peak.
At the base of the falls are streams that are popular for wading. It can get cold though!

When I first arrived to B.C., this was one of the first places I went. Driving along up Hwy 99 on the way to Whistler, you can see Shannon Falls tumble down above the forests. It's a pretty fall, with lots of picnic tables around the area and good short trails. Makes for a nice stopover point on your way up to Whistler, or an equally good destination for a day trip. I remember being impressed then, and it's still a nice place now. It won't compare to some of the waterfall "greats of the world", but then again, who's counting? :)
