Confirmed from Wagner Drive Waterfall's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Paved, boardwalked recreation area featuring a waterfall, fishing and river views.
What runners say about Wagner Drive Waterfall
“Our family went here to see this place and it was beautiful and clean, they take well care of this area.”
“Would not call this a waterfall, but scenic to sit and enjoy the sound of flowing water to soothe one's mind”
Absolutely beautiful. Had no idea this little gem was right here in B.C! Nice pavilion to sit and eat above the waterfall. Neat path to walk down to it as well.
Would not call this a waterfall, but scenic to sit and enjoy the sound of flowing water to soothe one's mind
One of my family's favorite spots. Walking, exploring and fishing all things to do here.
I loved the boardwalk and the linear trail. My son skateboarded on most of it. There were quite a few folks back there partying so I wouldn't really bring kids there these days.
Trail conditions & character
“Used to have a telescope so you could check out the waterfall but to no surprise it's been gone for years now.”
