Mahood Falls

Mahood Falls is a 30-metre waterfall on the Canim River in Wells Gray Provincial Park, between Canim Lake and Mahood Lake in British Columbia. Closely linked to nearby Canim Falls, it forms where the river splits around a large island, with the north channel dropping over Mahood Falls and the fuller south channel plunging over Canim Falls. The landscape was shaped by lava flows from the Wells Gray-Clearwater volcanic field and by immense floods at the end of the last ice age that cut the canyons below both falls. Its name arose locally in the 1950s, though the waterfall itself was never officially listed in the British Columbia Gazetteer.
