Description
Take a walk into the beautiful, moss-lined canyon of Cascade Falls. This short but moderate trail is hidden just along the Lumby-Mabel Lake Road. From the 'parking spot,' the trail goes through the forest and above the moss lined gully.

As it winds down to the creek and in the canyon, the falls are soon visible. The sound of the cascading water grows louder as it echoes off the canyon walls. This amazing waterfall is mesmerizing and is a great place to cool off in the hot summer months!
