There is one of good size almost invisible from the road up the Tamihi FSR, I think somewhere near 13 to 15 km. But the road access might be cut.

Tamihi is a tributary to the Chilliwack River, road access is just west of the bridge crossing, on the south side.

If you follow the creek that feeds Widgeon Lake on the West end of the lake about 700 m up there is a really impressive waterfall, Unfortuanately that end of the lake is only accesible by a crazy bushwack, canoe or floatplane.

Wiener Falls near Sproat Lake is another good one. (pronounced why-ner, not like the oscar-myer ones...)

| Not many people visit Mia Falls under Big Den Mountain in Strathcona. Access isn't great, it'd take a day trip there and back but they are pretty spectacular. Some of the best views are from across the valley from logging roads on Mt Flannigan that are easier to get to as they're kept open by TimberWest. |

Upper Myra Falls has a nice trail to it. There's also a waterfall part way up the Phillips Ridge trail that's really nice as there's a viewing spot right next to the cascade.
And I remembered another spectacular waterfall above Shepherd Creek, I think it's coming out of Ink or Delight lake. Not easy to reach and best viewed from Shepherd Ridge. Be a long day trip to get up there, really best taken in as part of a longer hike but it's a beautiful falls. |

| If you do the Karst Creek interpretive trail, there's a small waterfall that disappears into the rock, and then appears a fair distance away. |
