  • Beautiful waterfalls. Ample parking and a very easy walk to view the falls. The toilets are clean and well maintained but in early May the refreshment hut is still closed. Well worth visiting.

  • Beautiful waterfall with lots of greenery. Has enough parking and seating arrangement to spent some leisure and carry food. The trail to view point is short. It offers long trails as well to the top.....  more

  • A peaceful picnic spot along the Sky to Sea highway going to Whistler / Vancouver. The falls are quite serene and lots of spots to enjoy the fall by sitting on the rocks and dipping your feet in the flowing water. Lots of picnic benches for a family picnic and decent washrooms. The serenity and green space will stay in your memories for long. It is a busy place so small little parking lot fills up quickly but people move out fast too so you can find parking easily. Highly recommend 👌
  • Beautiful waterfalls, very powerful sound. It has nice trails to explore, a little bit steep so be aware if you are travelling with seniors. It has a lookout which is accessible ♿️ . Clean washrooms. Plenty of picnic area, so grab your snack and come in!
  • Amazingly peaceful and great views, just located on the way to Whistler. Nice stop from the long drive to get some fresh air, beautiful views and also not much trek or walk required to go to the falls. Parking available for free. Washrooms also in location.
  • Shannon Falls is a must-see destination for anyone traveling along the Sea to Sky highway. Located just a short drive from Vancouver, this natural wonder is truly breathtaking. The falls cascade down a sheer cliff face, creating a mesmerizing display of water and mist. Visitors can take a short walk to the base of the falls to experience their power and beauty up close. The trail is well-maintained and easy to navigate, making it accessible for all ages and fitness levels. One of the best things about Shannon Falls is its accessibility. The parking lot is conveniently located near the trailhead, and there are plenty of signs and markers to guide you along the way. The area is also well-maintained, with clean restrooms and picnic areas for those who want to stay a little longer. If you're feeling adventurous, there are additional trails that lead up to the top of the falls, offering stunning views of the surrounding landscape. The hike is more challenging, but the payoff is well worth it. Overall, I highly recommend a visit to Shannon Falls for anyone traveling along the Sea to Sky highway. The falls are a true natural wonder and a testament to the beauty of British Columbia. Whether you're a local or a visitor, this is one stop you won't want to miss.
  • I've been here a couple times already 12 years ago and really liked this waterfall so finally my family had a chance to experience it like me. Everyone liked this beautiful waterfall very much. Easy access right beside highway with a big parking lot and portable toilets right next to it which used this one during winter season. Very well kept clean park with a lot of picnic tables.
