Crystal Falls

A breathtaking site nestled between a lush forest, Crystal Falls is a must-visit. The way to the falls follows a 3.7-kilometre out-and-back trail, starting from Harmony Road and ending at the Crystal Falls pond. The route is relatively easy and suitable for hikers of all skill levels. Despite being somewhat steep, the hike down to the falls is enjoyable and requires minimal effort. Taking approximately 1 hour to complete, the breathtaking view at the end of the journey is worth it. Check out some local birds along the way, or dip in the fresh flowing water! Visitors who do not enjoy hiking can also bike down the path to explore the peaceful site. Pets are allowed but must be leashed at all times in the area. The Crystal Falls are perfect for a quick summer day trip!
