Copley Waterfall is a small but scenic cascade tucked within the forest of the Copley Ridge Trails near Lantzville. The waterfall flows over a rocky ledge along Knarston Creek, especially lively after rainfall or during the wetter months. Surrounded by mossy rocks and dense coastal forest, it’s a peaceful spot to pause along the trail and listen to the sound of the water moving through the valley.
