Della Falls is a waterfall located within Strathcona Provincial Park on Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada.
[4] In 1899, prospector and trapper Joe Drinkwater discovered* Della Falls and named them after his wife.
Evidence of his gold mining operation, including an aerial tramway he built, can still be seen near the falls.
After the 35 km (21 mi) crossing, there is a dock that marks the beginning of Strathcona Park, and a camping area which can be used as a base camp before trying the next 15 km (9 mi) ascent to the base of Della Falls.
The hike, part of which follows an old logging railway, takes about seven hours one way and is suitable for intermediate level hikers.
