This must-see spot in Waterton Lakes National Park sits on the western edge of the townsite. To find it, follow Cameron Falls Drive until it curves into Evergreen Avenue. You can also follow a hiking trail from the townsite. The falls are a popular spot for selfies and family photos. A viewing bridge lets visitors get a good view of the flowing water and even feel the mist on their faces. The basin into which the falls plunge is a good spot for fishing. The falls flow over ancient Precambrian rock that shows off Waterton’s geological features, which are further explained on interpretive signs at the site. The falls are arguably even prettier in winter when snow and ice surround the falls. It makes for a striking landscape that serves as a perfect background for photos.
