Nairn Falls Provincial Park

A Forest Park On The Green River With A 60 M Waterfall Roaring Through A Narrow Gorge, A Short Trail Along The River, A Campground And Views Toward Mount Currie. A Quick Roadside Stop On The Sea To Sky Highway North Of Whistler · Pemberton, British Columbia

Nairn Falls Provincial Park sits on the Green River beside Highway 99 about 3 km south of Pemberton, roughly 30 km north of Whistler Village on the Sea-to-Sky route (confirm distances). The river is squeezed into a narrow rock gorge and drops about 60 m in a run of white chutes and pools, and a forest trail of roughly 1.5 km each way (confirm) leads to railed platforms above the main drop, close enough to feel the spray. Around the trail stand tall cedar, fir and hemlock, and on clear days the pale peak of Mount Currie rises over the Pemberton valley. The park also has a riverside campground, a gravel beach on the Green River, picnic tables and a quiet atmosphere that suits a short break from the highway. Many drivers stop on the way to Joffre Lakes or Lillooet, and the walk is easy for most people of any age. Camping is booked through BC Parks, a day-use pass may apply in summer, and all prices and dates should be confirmed.

Nairn Falls Provincial Park, on Highway 99 about 3 km south of Pemberton on the Sea-to-Sky Highway north of Whistler; coordinates approximate, Pemberton, British Columbia, Canada

Nairn Falls is a day-use park all year, with the trail and platforms open in daylight, and the campground generally running from about mid May to early October (confirm dates with BC Parks before a long drive). Winter brings snow and ice on the gorge trail, and the campground road may be closed to vehicles. Campers follow check-in and check-out times set at booking (confirm). There is usually no staffed gate, so the park relies on posted notices, and a day-use pass may be required in the busy summer weeks (confirm). Daylight is long in June and short in December, so plan the walk to finish well before dark.
