Cheslatta Falls

Cheslatta Falls is an 18-metre waterfall on the Cheslatta River in north-central British Columbia, where the river meets the Nechako River. A 1.

2-kilometre one-way trail leads from the Cheslatta River Recreation Site through a pine forest along a ridge above the roaring river, ending at the edge of a cliff directly beside the falls.

A short, steep path also descends to the base of the waterfall, though footing near the water is notably slippery. The area is accessible via the Holy Cross Forest Service Road, with approach routes from both Fraser Lake and Vanderhoof.

A campground sits approximately 500 metres from the trailhead. Visitors should stay on the marked trail and exercise caution near the steep drop-offs and turbulent water.
