With an impressive 335 meters, Shannon Falls are the third highest waterfalls in British Columbia. Shannon Creek cascades into the depths. The main fall alone, which you can see here from the viewing platform, has a height of 198 meters. Tragically, three people lost their lives in 2018 because they underestimated the power of the water and were swept down by it.

Shannon Falls is often described as one of the highest waterfalls in British Columbia, but its exact height is not confirmed. The height of the falls is given as 335.3 metres. This value has since been disputed, with reference to information on contour lines on topographic maps. Based on this, the height is estimated at around 250 metres; only the lower 140 metres are visible from the lookout points.
Shannon Creek and Falls were named after the William Shannon, who settled in the area in 1889.
