About Marshall Creek
Marshall Creek is a small, creek-fed waterfall located in the interior of British Columbia near the Lillooet area (approximate coordinates 50.8422, -122.4606). It appears to be a lesser-known, relatively remote cascade that may be most impressive during spring snowmelt and after heavy rains. Specific published information about the waterfall is limited; the description above may be approximate and visitors should confirm local conditions before travel.
Why This Waterfall Exists
Marshall Creek flows over layered sedimentary rock laid down about 145-359 million years ago. Over time, the stream has worn through these layers at different rates, creating the step that forms the waterfall.

Seasonal Access
The best time to visit is Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter. Check with the managing park or local authority for current conditions.
Safety Information
Hazards may include slippery rocks and banks, fast or cold water during high flows, unstable ground near the creek, falling rock in steep sections, poor or no cell coverage, and seasonal road or trail closures. Weather can change rapidly, carry appropriate gear. If accessing by logging/forestry roads, be aware of active industrial traffic and closed gates. When in doubt, choose the safer option and avoid risky cliff or waterside approaches.
