Short walk to the bottom fall and decent walk even for beginers, pets, kids. We came from Calgary and its a worth trip. 4 star because the top fall is a hard narrow hike. My kids were not able to make it and also washroom only at the start. The trail is quite broad to the bottom fall. Over all recommended. Takes only an hour to finish. Check out the attached pictures and like if it helped. Thanks and happy hiking.

Find more on PinterestI have to take a bus for about 1 hour and walk 30 minutes from downtown. I'd say everyone can get there even if you don't have a car and it's worth a try. It is a short and easy trail that can be taken with children and dogs. No worries
On a sunny hot day this short hike is a treat. Our teens boys loved it as it a bit challenging to climb up the narrow path and rocky area. There’s two signs base falls and top falls. We saw both the only downfall the creek and falls had very little water. So didn’t get to see the waterfalls. To reach this place take old Vernon and Spencer road. On Spencer road towards the end of the road it says private property. Before reaching the end to the right there’s a sign that says Mill creek park . The sign is kind of hidden. That’s the trail head. On the left there’s a spot to park cars. If you are using google maps it takes you into the private property and there’s no way through it.
This hike was so fun. The weather was perfect, and at least to the first cataract, the path was wide and easy. From the first falls up to the reservoir it's a progressively more strenuous scramble, but it's worth it. Dogs on leashes, places to picnic, and lovely cool water on a hot day. What could be better? Easily accessed off Old Vernon road, there's quite a bit of parking.
