    Tips

    From the Dawson Falls parking lot, a trail along the Murtle River takes you to the Falls in about 10 minutes. About two-thirds of the way, there is an excellent viewing point for the Falls. The water of the Murtle River plunges about 18 meters down a step at Dawson Falls. If you're lucky, you can see a rainbow below the Dawson Falls.

    Opposite is another observation point; it can be reached from the Pyramid Campground.

    In addition to Dawson Falls, there are six other waterfalls along the Murtle River in Wells Gray Park.

      The 91 m wide and 16 m high falls are also called "Little Niagara Falls".
