Kinuseo Falls

Kinuseo Falls is a sixty-metre waterfall on the Murray River at the northern end of Monkman Provincial Park in British Columbia’s Northern Rockies. Slightly taller than Niagara Falls but carrying far less water, it is one of the park’s chief natural attractions and a focal point for visitors, campers, and hikers using the nearby campground and Monkman Pass Trail. The falls were recorded by 1906 on a map compiled for the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway. The first known photographs were taken by the Fay expedition in 1914, and Samuel Prescott Fay proposed the name, originally spelled “Kinoosao,” from a Cree word meaning “fish.”
