Bridal Veil Falls Park
About this Park
Located east of Chilliwack, Bridal Veil Falls Park is a scenic day-use area. The landscape encompassing the park is characterized by low elevation valleys and lush, rounded mountains. Visitors can enjoy picnicking, hiking, and viewing the spectacular Bridal Veil Falls, which tumbles 60 metres over a smooth rock face, creating a veil-like effect.
Safety information
Bridal Veil Falls is prone to freezing during colder winters, which results in the formation of an unstable wall of ice. During these periods, the base of the falls is an extremely hazardous area. Please use caution at the base of the falls as it may be subject to slippery footing and falling rock or ice.
Location notes
The park is on the south side of the Fraser River, 16km east of Chilliwack. Take exit 135 off Highway 1 and follow the signs. The nearest communities are Bridal Falls and Chilliwack.
