Maps and location
Getting there
10 km north of Hwy #5 at Clearwater, on the Clearwater Valley Road.
Things to do
An easy walk to the viewing platform provides spectacular views of Spahats Falls and the canyon where Spahats Creek has cut through the layers of volcanic rock. Shaden Viewing Platform provides a view of the Clearwater River Corridor. For your own safety and the preservation of the park, obey posted signs and keep to designated trails. Shortcutting trails destroys plant life and soil structure.
Pets and domestic animals must be on a leash at all times and are not allowed in beach areas or park buildings. You are responsible for their behaviour and must dispose of their excrement. Backcountry areas are not suitable for dogs or other pets due to wildlife issues and the potential for problems with bears.
