Located in Goldstream Provincial Park near Langford, Upper Goldstream Falls (also commonly called Goldstream Falls) is a popular and easily accessible waterfall that's a favorite among campers and visitors alike. Nestled along the Goldstream Falls Trail, this small but charming waterfall cascades into a shallow, clear pool that's perfect for cooling off in the summer months.

The Upper Goldstream Trail begins between Campsites No. 59 and No. 60. This short, 220-metre path is easy to walk and takes about five minutes. Just before the waterfall, however, there is a long flight of stairs descending into the canyon. They’re a breeze on the way down, but be prepared for a bit of a workout on the climb back up, adding another five minutes to the walk.

Goldstream Provincial Park is open year-round. Check camping and facilities for additional dates. With frontcountry reservations, parking for one vehicle is included in the regular camping fee for your party (winter camping fee: $13 per party per night).

But during the winter or off-season, facilities may be limited, and vehicle access to certain areas of the park may be restricted. In particular, the trail to Niagara Falls may be closed due to washouts. Be sure to check current conditions on the official website before your visit.
