Nature & Culture

  • Cultural Heritage - The area around the falls, including the trails, is a First Nations Reserve.
  • Conservation - Sport fishing is banned in the lower pool flowing from the Kumowdah River. This area is important to hundreds of spawning salmon.
  • Wildlife - In August, spawning salmon arrive to head up Verney Falls towards Kumowdah River. Following the salmon, seals congregate to feed at the falls. Black bears stand along the falls to catch jumping salmon.
