About Table Rock Falls
Table Rock Falls (coords 52.1696, -115.7583) is a mountain cascade in the Alberta Rockies. There is limited official documentation for this specific feature; reports and topographic maps suggest it is a relatively small to medium cascade/slide below a rocky outcrop commonly called Table Rock.

Why This Waterfall Exists
Table Rock Falls flows over Alberta Group; Smoky Group, a layered sedimentary rock layer deposited about 66-101 million years ago. These soft rocks erode readily, allowing the stream to carve a 36-foot drop into the landscape.
