Walk into a frozen waterfall - you'll feel like you're in a fairy tale
Canim falls is about a 40 minute drive from South Point Resort. Once you are parked, it is a 15 minute walk into the falls. Strap on some snowshoes if the snow is deep, pack a lunch and experience something out of this world. You will never get tired of these falls, no matter what the season.
Once you've hit the trail, there are several stops on route to the trail for great photography and group shots. You'll also see Mahood Falls across the river on your way to Canim Falls.
Stand in awe as you witness nature at it's best. Bring some hot chocolate and a lunch and listen to the amazing sounds around you.
