Crawford Falls

Description:

Crawford Falls, located in South Kelowna, is just a quick drive from downtown. It's a perfect short day trip to get those sick Instagram pics.

After parking in the cul-de-sac make your way down into the canyon shortly after passing the last house. The descent can be very slippery during winter months so be sure to bring proper footwear according to the weather. 

The short descent will lead you to the creek and following the path upstream will take you to the base of the falls. There is a series of pathways that will take you up and around to different areas of the falls, so you can explore it from all angles.
