Begbie Falls
A waterfall in the forest south of town, about a 15-minute walk from the parking lot. The area has a network of mountain-biking and hiking trails.
Begbie Falls is at the foot of Mount Begbie, about 10 km south of Revelstoke. Turn off Highway 23 onto a gravel road to reach the parking lot. From there, it is about a 15-minute walk along a forest trail of less than 1 km to the falls viewpoint. The water drops in stages through a rocky gorge and is most spectacular during spring snowmelt. Nearby are a picnic area and a trail to the shore of Arrow Lake. It is also a route often ridden by local mountain bikers. Admission is free. The path is level and suitable for families, and it is often combined with Williamson Lake or Blanket Creek Provincial Park in the same afternoon. The gravel road turns muddy after rain, and it is not recommended in winter.
