Hemlock Falls

The Gorge Creek Trail can be found across Highway 1 from the Last Spike Monument in Craigellachie along Highway 1, 25.5km east of Sicamous or 8km west of Crazy Creek Falls. From the parking area walk past the restrooms and bear up the grassy hill on the path, which leads to the trail on the opposite side of the highway. Hemlock Falls is found about 3/4km from the trailhead along the loop trail. The falls can be seen from both sides of the loop, but the best (and only unobstructed) viewpoint is from the west side of the creek just downstream of the footbridge above the falls.Hemlock Falls is the uppermost and largest of a trio of nice waterfalls along Gorge Creek near the town of Craigellachie. The creek splits around a prow-shaped rock, with one segment plunging a sheer 47 feet while the other drops in two steps, 23 and 24 feet respectively with a small pool in between.
