Canim Falls

Canim Falls is a 25-metre waterfall on the Canim River in Wells Gray Provincial Park, British Columbia, between Canim Lake and Mahood Lake. It lies in a canyon cut into a lava plateau within the Wells Gray-Clearwater volcanic field, making it part of a notable volcanic landscape in the Central Interior. As the falls gradually eroded upstream, they formed a canyon about 4 kilometres long. Above the brink, the river divides around an island, creating a larger main drop that flows year-round and a smaller southern drop that is often dry by mid-summer. The name Canim comes from Chinook Jargon for a type of large canoe.
