    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.

      Huge masses of water make the falls worth seeing!

        Dawson Falls waterfall is only about 10 minutes from the parking lot. It's not very tall, but quite wide. It is ranked 5th in Wells Gray Provincial Park's waterfall rankings.
