About Shannon Falls Park

Shannon Falls Park is located 3 kilometers south of Squamish along the eastern shore of Howe Sound adjacent to Highway 99.

The park contains the third-highest waterfall in British Columbia. The spectacular falls cascade over a series of cliffs 335 meters high. The park includes day-use picnic sites, water, and restrooms. There are two viewing platforms for the falls just a short walk from the parking lot. Visitors can also access the hiking trails up the famed Stawamus Chief. The group picnic site in the park is ideal for weddings and family reunions.
