No Boat? No Problem.
Echo Falls trailhead is only accessible by water. Let us handle the river crossing so you can focus on the adventure.
About Echo Falls
Echo Falls is a magical destination featuring dramatic waterfalls, crystal-clear alpine pools, and the stunning Echo Lake at the top. The trail runs directly beside the falls, taking you through old-growth rainforest with eye-catching rock formations carved by centuries of flowing water.
Why You Need a Boat
The Echo Falls trailhead sits on the western bank of the Squamish River - there's no bridge access. You need a boat, canoe, or paddleboard to cross. Our water taxi makes it easy: we drop you off at the trailhead and pick you up when you're done.
