Boubor Falls Hiking Trail, Tumbler Ridge

Mushroom, Bourbor Falls, Tumbler Ridge, BC

Boubor Falls Trail is a short 800 metre route hiking along a flat, easy grade path to a cliff side viewpoint looking out across a river at Boubor Falls. The 1 hour return hike provides a great opportunity to view a towering waterfall when exploring near the community of Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia, Canada.

The trailhead location to the Boubor Falls Trail is 38 kilometres from the small community and, as an added bonus, it is close to some other well-used hiking trails and parks in the region like the Nesbitts Knee Falls, Monkman Park and the very popular Kinuseo Falls Hiking Trail.

The Boubor Falls trail is mostly hiking in the trees until the end of the trail when you reach the cliff side viewpoint on the edge of a canyon. The very short route follows, mostly, a pine needle cushioned trail with some exposed tree roots to navigate. The trail is suitable for all ages and is in bear country, so make noise and hike in groups.

The viewpoint at the end of the trail provides views of the waterfall from across the canyon. The viewpoint is perched on a forested cliff side with no barrier or fencing protecting people from the edge. Please do not let children run ahead of your group to the viewpoint on this trail.

It is a very steep drop-off from the viewpoint. Although, looking closely you can see some unauthorized paths heading down to the creek level. These are not recommended as it is very dangerous. Remember what goes down must come up and coming up from the creek would be a real huge climb for most.
