Hunlen Falls

Hunlen Falls, in Tweedsmuir South Provincial Park in British Columbia, drops from Turner Lake through Hunlen Creek into the Atnarko River and is tied for the fourth tallest single-drop waterfall in Canada at an estimated 260 metres or 850 feet. Its near-vertical plunge has created an alluvial fan in the Atnarko Valley below, and nearby cliffs overlook Lonesome Lake. The falls were named in 1947 for the Chilcotin chief Hana-lin, who fished and trapped nearby, after earlier names including Mystery Falls and Bella Coola Falls. Remote and roadless, the area also includes the historic Edwards homestead and was affected by the 2004 Atnarko fire.
