1.5km hike from the parking lot, took me one hour. It's mostly level but I'd recommend hiking boots because there's some small rocks to walk over on the trail. Don't let your children run or ride their bike on the trail as they could end up in the river below and that would be bad! Campsite is pretty sweet next door too but I imagine it's hard to get a spot during summer
We enjoyed it there 2 nights myself, my wife and my baby takaya lol my dog 🐕 great trails close to one mile lake highway gets a little loud and there is a small town close by. We were at site 76, and the whole area was well maintained, well spaced sites
It's an easy 1.5 km hike to the falls. Expect some slight inclines/declines with uneven ground. There are some stairs and a fenced platform with handrails in front of the falls. We'll worth the hike to experience! May nit be easy for someone with mobility issues.
Trailhead starts beneath the parking place, about 3km to the falls an back again on good ways, the last steps to the falls is on rocks but with possibility to hold onto the fence bars.
Impressive amount of water falling down, observe the turbulances in the potholes.
Nice, plan about an hour for the whole walk.

Peaceful and very Beautiful Falls in Pemberton area. Takes 15 minutes from parking lot to get there, better wearing sneakers or hiking boots. Enjoy the view.
We did camping at Nairn falls provincial park. We have to walk 1.5 km from the parking area to the falls. The difficulty level of the hiking is medium. Avoid going during rainy days, because you have to walk a few steps on the rock, which will be slippery when wet.
This area is habitat for bear. It's good to have bear spray along with you for your safety.
You can have amazing camping at this park, you have to book earlier. Officers here will visit the camping site frequently for any help. There are mosquitoes at the camping site, so you have to be prepared. There is no electricity and the restrooms at the camp site are Porta potties/honey pot. You can also use the washroom at the Pemberton community centre.

A must stop off. The walk through the forest by the river is nice. The falls are spectacular. Don’t drive by. Takes about 60-75 minutes.
We visited these falls in mid of April! The weather was sort of perfect because it hadn’t rained or snow and not too hot for a hike.
The waterfall is around 1.5-ish kms from the trailhead parking lot. The hike is easy with a little elevation towards the end. It’s a bit narrow so I would be careful if its wet and hike shoes may be better choice.
The fall itself stunning and the hike is gorgeous! You hear the river and falls as you walk and that is refreshing.
We did not see many people when we were there.. so it was a nice secluded walk for us. But, can imagine this place to have more traffic during summers.
It’s a must visit though and the beauty of falls is way more rewarding than the hike efforts!

Great little hike to see a beautiful natural wonder nature. The trail is well maintained. It's no Shannon falls but I enjoyed the experience.
Really good hike. A bit tougher to do with toddlers as yours have to carry them for 1.5 km.
The sound of the river gets louder as you get further into the hike. The waterfall itself may not be a "big payoff", but the hole through the trees with the river roaring is worth it.

WOW! Great trail to the falls and so much to see along the wall. WEAR GOOD SHOES. Not much elevation gain at all but the path is somewhat narrow and rocky in some areas. About 2 miles round trip and totally worth it
Interesting falls with evidences of geological formation change over the years, though the falls itself isnt too visible from the viewpoint.
The trail is easy 20 minutes walk (1.5km), and the energy you get from the falls area is surreal. Also, make sure to walk down to the creek along trail to take a break by the ice cold & turqoise colored water.
Parking can be limited on a weekend, but the turnover is pretty quick.

This is a terrific hike not to be missed. It's about 1.5km to the falls on an easy incline with a roaring river on your left the entire time. Try 2-3 hours prior to sunset to get the falls back lit by the setting sun. The volume of water is truly amazing and you see it twist and turn after the falls in the canyons . The hike back is slightly downhill and not technical. Great pit stop if you're in the area.
Incredibly beautiful place to go camping, especially for first time goers. The individual campsites are large enough for big tents and vehicles, private enough and great views most of them, especially the ones by the river. There are toilets and drinking water available. What I also liked was that it was permanently patrolled by a park ranger who was also very nice and helpful if needed.
Easy walk to the falls and the trail is pretty clear to follow. Would recommend closed toes even if it’s an easy hike, waterfalls were gorgeous! There are a couple of off the trail paths to get closer to the water close to the end of the trail. Plenty of parking spots on a Saturday past lunch. Looked like a nice spot for campers along the water.
