Dawson Falls is one of seven waterfalls on the Murtle River in Wells Gray Provincial Park, British Columbia, Canada.
[2] Lee and his crew camped near Dawson Falls during the summers of 1913 and 1914 while they surveyed homesteaders' lots along the south side of the Murtle River.
At Dawson Falls, the Murtle River drops over lava flows that date to about 200,000 years ago.
Below the lava are compacted sand and gravel deposits left by a river that predated the eruption.
The Wells Gray Park road bridges the Murtle River at The Mushbowl.
