Waterfall Explorer Tour and Picnic Lunch
10:00am - 2:00pm

    

 


Enjoy this guided walk through Nairn Falls Provincial Park. The trail meanders between old growth cedars and firs following the cliff banks, about 100 metres up from the fast flowing Green River. The trail is well maintained, level and has just a slight elevation gain. Near the beautiful waterfall at the end of the trail is a small climb, providing you with majestic views of the falls. A second trail brings you to a rocky beach on the river where you will enjoy a gourmet picnic lunch with your guides.
