This Secret Waterfall In BC Ends In A Colourful Pool In The Forest

Only serious waterfall chasers will know where this is. 🌊
Contributor

There are so many beautiful waterfalls in B.C. that it's honestly hard for us to keep track of them all, but if you've already seen Bridal and Brandywine recently, then you'll want to find this hidden gem.

Mamquam Falls in Squamish cascades down into a colourful pool of water — it can be turquoise or even emerald green depending on the time of year you go.

Hidden underneath a bridge by a power station, it's 62 feet tall, according to the world waterfall database.

The pool is surrounded by cliffs, making it look like it's straight out of a fantasy world.

This place is popular with kayakers, and there are even paddlers who go over the falls and plunge down in their boats — while it might be breathtaking to watch, we don't recommend it.

There's a space for parking nearby if you just want to park and take a look at the majestic falls without a big hike.

But there are trails along the Mamquam River if you're feeling extra adventurous.

The next time you head up to Squamish, make sure to add this spot to your bucket list.
