What visitors say

Rolley Falls is a short hike from Rolley Lake Provincial Park in the forest north of Mission. There are two falls: a small lower one with a footbridge that makes a nice frame for photos, and a larger upper falls with a couple of viewing spots.

Getting to the first falls is easy. The loop beyond it has a steep climb and descent, some muddy sections and side trails that can be very steep. One family with young kids missed the turn and ended up on the back road, so keep left at the signed junction. The trail isn't stroller-friendly, and the footbridge is showing some wear.

Many visitors combine the falls with the easy loop around Rolley Lake. The lake is stocked with trout, has a swimming area and allows canoes (no motors), and the campground makes it an easy overnight. Picnic tables are shaded, although on hot days they fill quickly.

Expectations matter here. Several reviewers found the falls small, with the upper one partly hidden from the best viewpoint, and one said it's not worth a long drive on its own. As part of a lake day it's a pleasant add-on. There's no parking inside the campground for day hikers.
