Nairn Falls
Travel info for this amazing destination in BC Canada
Nairn Falls Provincial Park is located BC Canada.
There are two provincial parks in the Pemberton region with well organized campgrounds, Birkenhead Lake and Nairn Falls Provincial Park. Beautifully located south of Pemberton besides Hwy 99, Nairn Falls Provincial Park features captivating views, 94 large forested camping spots and day-use areas. Facilities provided include that of wood, water, fire pit, pit toilets, and sani-station during the summer months. Fees are collected from May to October - the campground gate is closed after October 1.
As it flows through the park, the Green River carves its way through a mass of granite at the foot of Mount Currie. Having picked up volume from the Soo River and Rutherford Creek on its way from Green Lake in the Whistler area, it swirls and crashes its way along until it reaches a fracture in the granite. Suddenly, its broad shape is transformed into a thundering column of whitewater as it drops 197 feet (60 m) at Nairn Falls. As abruptly as the theatrics begin, the river reverts to its former character and hurries on towards Lillooet Lake. Unlike Shannon Falls or Brandywine Falls, Nairn Falls does not drop down a sheer pathway but instead boils through several frothy cauldrons. Over the centuries, silt carried in the water has scoured out bowls in which the whitewater churns momentarily before surging to the rocks below. Clouds of spray are jettisoned above the maelstrom in random patterns that are pleasant and hypnotic to watch.
Hiking trails include the Nairn Falls Trail, One Mile Lake Trail and Coudre Point. Nairn Falls Provincial Park is situated along a fast flowing river, some trails and campsites have steep banks and drop-offs - remain on developed facilities and stay within fenced areas. Use extreme caution when walking near the river's bank.
Outside the park, One Mile Lake is 2km north on Highway 99. This is a popular area for swimming and picnicking. For those seeking adventure, try white water rafting on the Green River, tours are usually operated out of Pemberton.
Nairn Falls Provincial Park is located 2 miles (3 km) south of Pemberton off Highway 99.
Preservation of the Nairn Falls Provincial Park area requires that hiking, camping and other activities be well managed, and that all visitors be fully prepared & practice 'leave no trace' wilderness etiquette. Camping is only permitted in designated areas.
