Great easy path to a refreshing small waterfall with shallow water that you can sit in if you want to brave the chill. Would be awesome on a hot day. Hike was easy (my hiking skills are Couch Potato Level), some steps near the end and can be a bit slippery with the crushed shale and dirt but easy enough for my older French Bulldog. Lots of native plants and trees, even a babbling brook, with many benches along the way to relax. Just off the highway.

There are other paths leading...

If you are interested in the history of this unique and beautiful spot I recomend going to the Crowsnest Museum, located just south of the path, and the incredable Bellevue Underground Mine Tours, located off main street Bellevue on the eastern...
