Canim Falls

Canim Falls is a waterfall on the Canim River between Canim and Mahood Lakes in the Cariboo region of the Central Interior of British Columbia, Canada. It is approximately 60 feet in height as measured in 1968 (an older mapping of it says 80 feet), and is cut into a lava plateau associated with the Wells Gray-Clearwater volcanic field which forms the canyon walls of the Canim River. Canim Falls is inside the boundary of Wells Gray Provincial Park.

"Canim" means a type of large canoe in the Chinook Jargon.
