| 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.
