About Wedge Creek Falls
Wedge Creek Falls is a little-documented waterfall in southwestern British Columbia at approximately 50.1602, -122.8996 (user-provided). It appears to be a remote, forested creek falls visited mainly by people comfortable with backcountry travel and route-finding. Official trail information, a measured height, and managed facilities do not appear to be available; the description below is conservative and based on regional access patterns and typical conditions for small forested creeks in this part of BC.
Why This Waterfall Exists
Wedge Creek Falls flows over layered sedimentary rock laid down about 201-252 million years ago. Over time, the stream has worn through these layers at different rates, creating the step that forms the waterfall.
