Marysville Falls Hiking Trail and Waterfall is an easy, short boardwalk
walking path located in the Village of Marysville which is south
of Kimberley, BC in the Kootenay region of British Columbia,
Canada. The hiking trail is a casual adventure leading to a
viewpoint overlooking a 30 metre waterfall.
The Marysville Falls Trail is a short casual
10-15 minute walk to the waterfall viewpoints. The trail follows
the banks of Mark Creek for most of the way and then begins
climbing a ridge to a viewpoint looking out across from the
falls.
The boardwalk trail, although short, turns
to a dirt path as you near the lookout. Some sections of the
walking trail is fenced to prevent people from getting to close
to the edge of the cliffs. It is important to note that the
mist from the waterfall makes the trail very slippery at times.
Opposite the trailhead, across the street in
Marysville, is a community Eco Park. The small park is dedicated
to the return of the cutthroat trout to Mark Creek. The park
includes picnic tables, information signs, flower gardens and
a statue of a westslope cutthroat trout.
The Marysville Trail also connects to the easy
12 kilometre Mark Creek Nature Trail which, in turn, connects
Marysville with the community of Kimberley. The Mark Creek Nature
Trail is a 3-4 hour adventure crossing foot bridges while following
the creek. Bikers, walkers, hikers and joggers use the trail.
