Beautiful Cascade Falls Regional Park – Mission British Columbia
Table of Contents
Located an easy 30 minutes to the north east of Mission, British Columbia where I happen to reside, is one of our hidden gems called Cascade Falls Regional Park. Recently having undergone major upgrades, including a new Suspension Bridge for you to enjoy the view, this area is now definitely a major attraction in this part of BC.
A picture perfect Park now with an added Suspension Bridge to enjoy!
Cascade Falls Regional Park And New Suspension Bridge
With well – groomed trail access and new viewing platforms for you to enjoy, accompanied by the New Suspension Bridge for you to walk across and take in the view of the Falls and lower McConnell Creek, this area is now a favorite outdoor destination where you can spend time and enjoy Beautiful British Columbia!
For those outdoor enthusiasts, this 22 hectare regional park now offers picnic tables, toilet facilities, hiking trails and well – groomed easy walking trails to the new platform areas to easily view the beautiful 30 meter Cascade Falls.

If you happen to be traveling in the winter or early spring, the Falls are intense, offering some amazing views and photo opportunities!
Cascading Falls and Hydro Electric Power
A Few Facts On Hydroelectric Power In British Columbia
Our many beautiful waterfalls and rivers in BC produce hydroelectric power, or electricity that is generated by hydro power, which is produced by nature’s own gravitational force of fast flowing water.
These hydroelectric facilities produce clean and renewable energy for years. In fact, most of our electricity in British Columbia comes from hydroelectricity.
So while you’re enjoying the beauty of the Falls, at the same time our rivers and cascading falls are producing electricity by flowing into the many powerhouse stations in the Province that collect and produce electricity using a Turbine Generator.
Take A Refreshing Dip At Cascade Falls
During those hot summer days, all along McConnell Creek above and below the falls, are perfect swimming holes where you can take a dip in the crystal clear mountain fresh water and at the time, enjoy nature surrounding you.
A perfect location to enjoy a hot summers day!
So if you are looking for a place to stop and enjoy Mission’s beautiful scenery, have a picnic and / or take a dip in the summer, then you simply must mark Cascade Falls on your map.

Enjoying a Dip in the Crystal Clear Waters
Getting to Cascade Falls Regional Park is easy either heading to or leaving Mission City off Highway #7. Below are detailed directions to the Falls and I have included a pin map showing the exact location and where you can also access Google Map directions.
From Mission
From the town of Mission, travel east on Highway #7 and head eastbound towards Harrison Hot Springs. Approximately 6 km from Mission, turn left onto Sylvester Road. There is a large Husky Service Station at this intersection. There is a small Cascade Falls Park sign just before the turn.
Follow Sylvester Road for about 15 km through Mission’s main farming area. Well marked signs to the falls will indicate a right turn onto Ridgeview Road which leads into the main parking area.
Safe and Healthy Travels! 🙂
