About Terepocki Twin Falls
Terepocki Twin Falls is reported as a small twin cascade located in the Fraser Valley region of southwestern British Columbia (coordinates 49.3816, -122.2263). The name suggests two closely spaced drops or channels that descend side-by-side on a small tributary. This feature does not appear to be a developed or formally maintained provincial park site and access is likely via unmarked or minimally maintained forest/utility roads and informal trails. Flow and appearance are likely seasonal and depend on spring snowmelt and rainfall; summer flows may be reduced.
The Setting
Terepocki Twin Falls sits at 455 metres within Old Growth Management Areas (Mapped Legal), in the foothills of British Columbia. The falls drop 13 metres.
Why This Waterfall Exists
Terepocki Twin Falls flows over hard intrusive rock laid down about 145-162 million years ago. These resistant rocks form a durable ledge that water cannot easily wear away, creating a 42-foot drop where softer material downstream has already eroded.
Nearby Falls Worth Visiting
Thunder Falls (100 m) lies 2.1 kilometres to the west. Also nearby: Cascade Falls (30 m, 11.9 km) and McDonald Falls (25 m, 9.5 km).

When to Visit
Late spring to early summer (after snowmelt) or in the rainy season/after significant rainfall for strongest flows. Late summer may have reduced flow. Avoid visiting during extremely high flows or immediately after major storms due to fast water and unstable banks.

The best time to visit is Spring, Summer, and Fall. Winter access may be limited. Check with the managing park or local authority for current conditions.
Safety Information
Hazards may include slippery wet rocks, steep and unstable banks, fast-flowing water during high-flow periods, limited or no cell coverage, and potential presence of logging traffic or active forestry operations. There may be private land boundaries, trespassing can lead to hazardous situations or confrontations. Bring a partner if possible, tell someone your route and expected return time, and exercise caution near the water. In wet or icy conditions, avoid approaching edges.
