nairn falls provincial park

Parked on the road and strolled in. An easy hike about 1 mile each way. The waterfall is very nice and worth the walk. If there was snow and ice present I would think it would be a bit dangerous due to the steep drop to the river. But this year, no snow in March, go figure.

Coming from Calgary in the middle of February, where it's still winter, this walk was a glorious coastal rainforest walk. Green everywhere, beautiful loam carpet to walk on. It wasn't a very difficult hike at all, not too far, and the waterfalls at the end of the trail were incredible. Easy hike worth the time.

We stayed at Nairn Falls campground for a week this summer and absolutely loved it. Unlike many other places in the Pemberton Valley there are no mosquitos. We had an awesome site overlooking the river and really enjoyed our time there.

Nice 'stretch-your-legs' walk to the falls and good overlooks with guard rails. When I am there, I always think about that night several years ago when torrential rains took out the bridge upriver and in the black night, a car went catapulting into the river. They never found the car or the two occupants. I wonder if the car went over the falls that night?

I would be interested in knowing when "Hiking Boots Essential" went to the falls as I found them far more than small and average. We went in November and the amount of water surging over the drop was deafening. It would be nice to see them au naturel (i.e. without the chain link fencing) but one glance at the cross on the cliff on the other side reminds everyone of the dangers of hiking out of bounds. The smooth-faced rock with no steps or hand holds which you walk over to get to the viewpoints is NOT for unsupervised kids, elders or dogs. Dogs can easily squeeze through the fence in a few places, so LEASH THEM and while you're at it: leash your kids, too. It's well worth the hike through the woods to the falls - highly recommended. Be sure to bring your camera.

This is a nice and easy hike (about 30mins) to Nairn Fall - it is not the biggest fall but the hike is worth it.

This hike starts out looking like an easy stroll for the whole family, but quickly turns into a serious trail that largely takes place near the edge of a rocky cliff the whole way to the falls. Hiking boots are essential. VERY slippery if wet. Certainly not for young children alone. Warning signs need to be heeded. The falls themselves are rather small and average, but the river running alone the way of this trail is a lovely turquoise blue.

An easy 1.5 kms of hike to the falls was a delight. Please take water and some sandwiches if you plan to picnic at the base. The trail is lovely and the falls are incerdible. Nature galore and beauty unfolds. Nature lovers will love it all.

Wear good shoes/boots. We walked 1.5 km to the falls with a 2.5 yr old. The path is decent but not accessible with a stroller or wagon. We saw the falls and spent a bit of time there. Then we hiked down to the river and threw some rocks. The water tasted so good. I highly recommend having a look around!

This hike starts off fairly level and then gets pretty steep toward the end, all the while hiking along the green river. I would not say this is an easy hike .. more on the moderate side. It is quiet and beautiful the entire time though, and I would definitely go again!

Short walk - some over rocks/boulders to the falls.Trail well maintained but noticed an elderly person having trouble on damp rocks.Worth a visit.

We visited these falls early September. I believe it is slightly less than a mile to the Falls, and the trail is very well maintained. You walk within a beautiful forest. The Falls are actually two separate drops - what is unique about these falls is that the water has a turquoise color, either due to the limestone rock or sediment from glaciers. The pictures I took here turned out really great. We took our 2 young children with us and they really enjoyed it, although you'll want to hold their hand when you get off the Trail and start walking on the rock. Good gripping shoes / hiking boots help in this regards.

A gentle riverside walk that gets steeper just before the falls. Very unusual but good signage to explain what is going on - well worth the visit.

Great little trip out to Nairn falls from whistler last week. Really easy to find and really impressive!! I would love to go back some day.

An easy drive just north of Whistler -- this hike is worth doing if you are wearing proper shoes for hiking. The hike is 20 to 30 min each way. Moderately strenuous. I would not recommend this hike for young children --- most of it is only 3 to 5 ft across, and there's a very steep drop-off which leads to a fast-moving river --- so you cannot have young children running around. Dogs are ok on a leash, but be careful...our leashed dog was nearly pushed off the trail by 2 dogs being "walked" by a girl who could barely control them / as they lunged toward our dog. That was scary. Otherwise, a pleasant walk. Bring drinking water and take your time on the hike so you don't twist your ankle.
