Grizzly Falls
A tall, tiered roadside waterfall deep in the Nahatlatch Valley west of Boston Bar, BC, reached by a long, rough forest service road. High clearance and a saw in the truck are strongly advised.
What visitors say
Grizzly Falls tumbles down four tiers on Grizzly Creek, a tributary of the Nahatlatch River, and you can drive almost to its base. The reward is a big, loud waterfall with very few people around.
Getting there is the adventure. The drive from Boston Bar runs up the Nahatlatch Forest Service Road, and reviewers describe well over an hour of off-road travel, including three small stream crossings. The final spur is rough and washed out in places. Several people say a high-clearance 4x4 is a must, and two recommend carrying a saw for fallen trees.
Once there, you can scramble part-way up toward the top of the falls, though one visitor noted there's no clear path. It's popular for photos, video and off-roading, and there are rustic camping spots along the way. Late spring brings the most water, when spray can reach the road. Grizzly Creek falls under BC's Region 2 stream rules if you want to fish.
Avoid the trip in heavy rain, when the road can become unsafe. It's bear and deer country, so keep food secured and watch for wildlife.
