Meadow Falls

[2] The waterfall was discovered by Joseph Hunter, a surveyor working for the future Canadian Pacific Railway, on May 26, 1874.

The Meadow Falls name refers to nearby marshes along the otherwise slow-moving Murtle River, a section known as The Stillwater.

Visitors to Meadow Falls are rare because there is no road or trail access and the nearby marshes make cross-country travel difficult.

The nearest trail ends at Horseshoe Falls, 4 km (2.5 mi) downstream.

During the 1950s and 1960s, hunting parties led by guide Thorbjorn "Ted" Helset used the Stillwater Trail which reached the Murtle River 2 km (1.2 mi) above Meadow Falls, but that trail is now overgrown and impassable.
