Very accessible. They have parkinf for car & RV/ campers. Toilets re available everywhere. This waterfall is gorgeous & amazing. A must to visit & trekking there. U can trekking further to the end of the trail. Really nice view & less tourists.

Helmcken Falls offers a stunning view with its dramatic drop into a deep canyon. The viewpoint is just a short, flat walk from the parking lot, making it easily accessible for all visitors. There are restroom facilities near the lot, and the viewing platform gives clear, wide views of the falls and surrounding cliffs. On a good day, the mist rising from the base adds to the atmosphere. If you're anywhere near Clearwater, it’s definitely worth pulling over for.

Beautiful waterfall surrounded by rock formations formed due to volcano, been here multiple times during winter and during spring and the waterfall always surprises with its views. Must visit if driving to Jasper/mount Robson/clearwater if driving along hwy-5 and there is lots of camp sites / RV sites and Cabins available in and around hwy-5.

Very spectacular waterfall!!! We went in late July and the fall was still pretty awesome!! We arrived VERY early in the morning around 6am, we pretty much had the whole place to ourselves.

This breathtaking waterfall deserves every bit of the attention and appreciation. One of the most wonderful waterfalls and places gives to us by the mother nature!

Canada's 4th highest waterfall. This is such a great place to visit. Amazing views from the platform. Helmcken Falls is beautiful. Really recommend this place for a visit.

Incredible waterfall! Easy to access, and the view is absolutely stunning. A must-visit spot in Wells Gray Park.

This is the perfect place to start if you're visiting Wells Gray Provincial Park. You’ll get all the info you need, and the staff are super friendly and helpful with maps and tips on what to see and do. There’s also a cute little souvenir shop, clean washrooms, and even a food truck outside. This spot really helps make your trip easier and more fun.

Really nice visitor centre! The staff were friendly and helpful, and there was lots of info about the park. They had maps, souvenirs, and even a little shop. Beautiful spot, and there was a food stand just outside too!

Stopped at Wells Grey Provincial Park to stretch our legs on route to Jasper National Park - and it really is worth the stop! The visitor centre is an excellent place to start, with lots of information on the different things to see and do, we could easily plan our visit and decide what we had time to see. Plus there is a coffee van parked right outside… perfect! :) The park itself is beautiful, well kept and signposted and without the crowded of the National Parks. Highly recommend a visit here!

At the Wells Gray Park Visitor Information Center, I saw something, I have never seen before at any other park service, including National Parks. They had a tip jar on their counter. ....your job is to provide information and customer service. You get paid or volunteer to do so. The tipping mindset of places that aren't restaurants serving you food at a table is becoming too much and honestly ridiculous. The place does have merchandise, ice cream, and coffee to purchase.

A Truly Exceptional Experience – Wells Gray Info Centre Over the years, my wife and I have visited countless visitor centres, and more often than not, they’re exactly what you’d expect: basic information, a few brochures, and a staff member who’s likely answered the same handful of questions a thousand times before. But the Wells Gray Information Centre was something else entirely. What set it apart was Hailey. From the moment we walked in, she went above and beyond to help us create an unforgettable experience in Clearwater and the surrounding area. Her knowledge was incredible — not just the popular highlights, but also the hidden gems that only a true local would know. Every recommendation felt personal, thoughtful, and spot-on. She also pointed us toward Liquid Lifestyles, located just at the end of the parking lot — and it turned out to be one of the highlights of our entire trip. In a time when genuine customer service can feel like a thing of the past, Hailey reminded us how impactful it is when someone truly cares about what they do. Her energy, enthusiasm, and insight turned what could’ve been a quick stop into one of the best parts of our vacation. Thank you for making our trip so special. If more people brought this level of care to their work, the world would be a better place.

Very informative. Great place to stopandfood truck outside.

Staff are friendly and suggestions they gave are very informative. Food truck in parking lot is a must visit place to try out food bowls.

Gorgeous waterfall. Very easy access to the viewing platform from the parking lot. We arrived around 11am on a late July weekend and there’s already some people there. There’s plenty of room on the viewing platform to fit all the visitors. Great view of the canyon.

Great little park for a quick stop while driving. Park seems to be handicapped accessible, with new benches and a clean trail going to the falls overlook.

DON’T miss the tiny brown sign to the right, look for the giant HOT DOG sign to the left to park and do a quick hike to view the falls. If you do happen to miss the parking lot for Sapp Falls, just carry on the road up to the next parking lot. The hike is approximately a kilometer and a half mostly down and can be challenging, but will definitely get your heart beating if you need that as a stop on the road. The fall are absolutely spectacular to see.

I am so incredibly glad we decided to pull over and stop at Spahats Creek Falls during our drive through Clearwater! What an absolute gem this place is. From the moment you arrive, you can tell it's well cared for. The trail leading to the falls is exceptionally well done and maintained, making for an easy and pleasant walk. The initial view as you approach the main area is nothing short of breathtaking – a deep, impressive canyon stretches out before you, hinting at the grandeur to come. But just a little further around, you reach the main viewing area, and that's where the magic truly happens. The falls themselves are absolutely stunning and incredibly interesting to behold. Spahats Creek Falls truly stands out because the water seems to burst directly out of a hidden cave in the side of the canyon wall! It's such a unique geological feature and immediately piqued my interest, making me wonder exactly where that water is coming from deep within the rock. Overall, this was a fantastic stop that exceeded all expectations. If you're driving through Clearwater, do yourself a favor and experience the beauty and mystery of Spahats Creek Falls!

Beautiful falls, but picnic tables were still put away so we had to picnic on the ground. signage was hard to see. Beautiful picnic tables to.

Easy short walk to this beautiful waterfall. What an amazing area! Lots of parking.

Spahats creek falls is in a canyon that connects to a valley and it sits in amongst the clouds. Great parking for all. Washrooms on site including pit toilets and running toilets. Trail is very easy to walk. Defiantly worth stopping and feeling the power nature has here.

A good parking, close to the wonderful Moul Falls they are surely worth a visit!

Parking is generally available, but there are no designated or properly constructed spots, so it can feel a bit cramped. By the afternoon, the area often fills up, making it harder to find a space.

Easy parking Especially early Fabulous Falls

An amazing falls. You can walk behind the falls! (At your own risk). Worth the short hike, although note the very steep, but short stairs and incline on the way back up from the bottom of the falls. Totally worth it.

You should arrove early, there are only few parking lots

Beautiful park to visit but you would think that with how popular Wells Grey park is that they would have more parking available for tourists. The parking lot was full so I had to park out on the shoulder with alot of other people and had to walk back about a blocks worth to the trail entrance from this parking lot. Not a huge deal cus I was there for a hike anyways but alot of people have small children and stuff and walking on the main road back to the parking lot isn't the safest. Also, not the parks fault, but tourists are disgusting and filthy and just throw their garbage all over instead of in the supplies garbage cans.

Beautiful place. Do carry bear spray. Tried to go 3 times. Had to turn back twice due to bears near trail. The fall is totally worth the almost 2 hours hike back and forth

Here in mid-June. Decent enough campground near Clearwater was fairly empty except for riverside spots. See photos, but these have varying degrees of obstructed river views. We stayed in #23. Potable water and vault toilets only but sanidump on-site. River runs very fast here, so swimming and kayaking not advised if you do not have someone to pick you up downriver. Spots are mostly treed, but privacy between is not great. Trains run across river but never heard any horns so not too bad. Path to walk along river but no "beach" One trail brings you up to Mt Robson overlook.

Nice Provincial campground not too far from Clearwater with access to and beautiful views of North Thompson River. -bring repellent, the place is infested with mosquitoes. -sani-dump costs CAD 5, only takes coins and to make it worse the machine got jammed...not ideal. -toilets are absolutely disgusting. -nice playground for kids.

This park is located a few miles/km south of Clearwater, BC Canada on the river side of Hwy 5; the Yellowhead hwy. The park is nestled beside the river in a stand of mature trees offering much needed shade in the hot summer. When booking online, watch the campsite measurements; If you try to put a 31’ motorhome in a 31’ site your nose will be right on the pavement with your back end hanging over the back of the site. The sites are wide, well spaced and mostly level. There is no beach here, just rocky river shore. The park is located on the confluence of the North Thompson River which is green and the Clearwater River which is blue. You can see the two colors clearly from the riverside trails. No services at the campsites but good privacy. No boat launch, no showers, no flush toilets. There is a sani-dump with drinking water and a nice playground with wood forts, slides and modern play center.

On a long drive we stopped at the North Thompson River Provincial Park. While it was the middle of summer, hardly anyone was here. The picnic tables are located right next to the river. Other than the occasional train, there is nothingness NG but the sounds of the river peacefully lapping the shore and bird calls from the trees. An idyllic and peaceful spot for our picnic lunch stop.

First time at this park and we loved it! Cute sites, nice trails to the river, very cool playground for the kids, super quiet at night time aside from the sound of trains going by (not honking, just traveling)

Pros: off the highway for a great and quick one night stop over. Typical Provincial Park fare. No highway noise as it's set back in trees. Water and bins available. Great playground to let the kids have a run around. Really nice park operator however, she doesn't live on site. $23 per night as of Sept 2017. Cons: Railway is adjacent and runs all night. Tight narrow and some short sites available. Not many of the 40 + sites that would accommodate a larger rig. We are 56ft end to end and found only a couple that would work. Nice place for a picnic or a one night stop over.

Stopped here on a hot day during a long drive. There was plenty of parking and a picnic area with a trail that meanders in the woods beside the river. There's a bunch of little beach areas off this trail, some being pretty short but steep and rocky. The river runs pretty fast but it's nice to get your feet wet and cool down.
