Short, sweet, spectacular – that’s the trail up to Tulip Creek Falls. It’s less of a hike and more of a diversion, but it’s well worth the trip!

Trailhead
After passing Syringa Provincial Park, turn onto Deer Park Road and drive to 3.5km. More detailed info can be found at the Castlegar Parks and Trails Society.
The trailhead isn’t marked, but the road widens to allow for parking and a trail climbs up along the banks of the creek.
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.
[…] Psst – while you’re in the area, why not make a quick visit to Tulip Creek Falls? […]
[…] 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
