While Canyon Falls Park is open, the Crawford Falls Trail down to the falls is closed due to slope instability. The upper trail is still open off of Canyon Falls Ct.
This is for sure a really neat place to go to and I would like to also mention the review by travelledbones_com who went there previously was excellent and why we decided to go. Unfortunately, the trail going down to the first waterfall was closed. People were going down anyways even though there was a warning! Anyhow, great place to go to so close to town and many trails easy enough! I was disappointed that we could not go down to the first waterfall, hopefully it will be fixed and it would have been great if there was a place to go online to find out if places like this are closed?
This is a hidden gem. Be sure to go past the first falls to the second. Both fall are very different and equally amazing - especially considering they are only 15 minutes from downtown. Wear good footwear.
Love this hike, one of my favourites! I recommend it to everyone that comes into town. There are some challanging spots but worth it for the waterfalls.
We’ve done this in the summer and it is definitely trickier in the winter. Cleats aren’t a must, but I would say they are HEAVILY recommended. The reward for effort level on this hike is great. The ladders have been replaced with metal grate staircases. (Easier to climb, but maybe tough on dog paws), and so the steep path to begin with and the small bit of climbing are well worth it. The last is of my 5yr old for those with kids. He loved this hike.
After parking in the strangest spot for a hike ever, on a dead end residential side street with seven figure houses on both sides, the trail head is easy to find.
The path had been closed up to just a week before due to flooding so much of it was washed out a some of it was pretty dicey but it was worth the effort and plenty of families had made it the day we went. Wear good shoes as there is a bit of bouldering. And bring your camera!
