Directions to Trailhead
Flood Falls
Table of contents
The hike to Flood Falls is a short out-and-back trail that travels along a 0.6mi forest path to reach this scenic rock formation. Located just outside of the city of Hope, this hiking route is a popular option for families due to the short length of the trail and the big wow factor of the water gushing over the falls. The volume of this waterfall surges during wetter months of the year, so it might not be as prominent if you hike the trail during the heat of summer.
Route Description for Flood Falls
Flood Falls is a quick hiking route just west of Hope, BC that passes through a charming stretch of West Coast rainforest on the way to a beautiful cascading waterfall. This 1.0 km trail has very little change in elevation, making it a perfect excursion for hikers of all skill levels and families with young children. Make sure to arrive early as parking at the trailhead is limited. This scenic route is best timed for April or May when the water flowing down the rocky falls is at its highest volume.
