Trailhead

Head north on Columbia Avenue in Castlegar to cross the Castlegar-Robson bridge over the Columbia River, and turn left onto Broadwater Road towards Robson (signed for Syringa Provincial Park). Follow Broadwater Road for 19 km (11.8 mi), which turns into gravel Deer Park Road, and reset your odometer as you pass the campground. Drive 3.5 km (2.2 mi) on Deer Park Road and watch for the signed trailhead as you cross the Tulip Creek bridge.

The Waterfall

The trail to Tulip Creek Falls requires some thoughtful stepping, but it’s short and scenic. The waterfall is quickly reached, nestled between red rock and bright green moss.

[…] 3.5 km into Deer Park FSR, you know you’re at the trailhead for Tulip Falls when you reach the first bridge. The road is wider near the bridge allowing for a few cars to park […]

If you follow a trail above the falls, it will take you through the canyon a bit farther … there are a number of climbing routes that have been set, as well as ropes to hold onto. Precarious and dangerous, but the towering walls on either side make it an excellent side adventure
