    Route Description for Lady Falls

    From the parking lot, follow the obvious and well-defined hiking trail up for 0.5 km to Lady Falls. Along the way, you will find delightful wooden benches and other west coast goodies. This is a fun trail for kids.

    At the end of the Lady Falls hiking trail you will find yourself on a viewing platform, in full view of the impressive Lady Falls. On a warm day the fine mist coming off the rocks does wonders to cool you down.

    With 30 m of vertical change, Lady Falls are impressive. As with much of Strathcona, however, the unique mystical ambiance adds a certain something that makes every outing that much more special. The thick moss lining the cliff walls and the dense, inviting forest surrounding the falls make the entire experience that much more enticing.
