1. Getting there and parking
Leave Highway 16 for the Crescent Spur/Loos road system. The June 2024 trip account places this unsigned trail start approximately 36 km along the road approach from the highway. Use the author’s linked access map to identify the exact spur and final stopping point; the prose does not document every forest-road junction or a formal parking bay. Confirm current industrial-road access and park fully clear of traffic.
Parking: The June 2024 report places an unsigned walking entrance approximately 36 km along the Crescent Spur/Loos road approach from Highway 16. Its prose does not establish every final junction or a formal parking bay.
2. Walking the route
The source describes a short, unsigned path through brush, approximately 400 m from the road to the waterfall. Locate the actual tread before leaving the vehicle and return on the same line; no maintained loop or alternative exit was established. The recorded outing is longer than twice a perfectly straight road-to-falls distance because it includes the walker’s actual approach and viewpoints. Wet ground, brush and the waterfall edge make the very short distance a poor measure of footing difficulty.
- Locate the actual path through the brush; the report describes about 400 m from the road to the falls.
The return
Return by the same path. The recorded trip includes its own approach and viewpoints, and does not establish a maintained loop.
3. Route map
Published locations only. A complete route line is still needed.
Published locations
Numbered points match the map. Use the role beside each point. A summit or park reference point is not a parking location.

5. Camping, facilities and seasons
Season and access
