This is a great short hike, even the icy winter. Beautiful view of the falls and natural scenery. I would recommend going to the visitor's center to get a self-guided Cameron Falls geological tour book to get the most out of the hike.

I have done this trail twice. Once in the Spring and once in the Fall. Both times the trail was really fun. It is a little rugged but easy to do, an average person who does not excercise much will find it a little challenging however will still be able to do it no problem. As we came over the... More

Our group was in Yellowknife hunting aurora for 4 nights. I had researched and researched for other activities to do. This is a short and very scenic winter hike! Take your time and enjoy the scenery and take lots of pictures. Make sure you leave yourself time to come back before dark as the sky gets dark early in the... More

The walk is quite a long one in bear country so I would recommend to be prepared with bear mace but once the walking is done there is a lot of things to see and do as far as picnic and fishing and or camping if thats your thing, just expect to see people on and off.

I love hikes with waterfalls at the end--they are so rewarding! The hike is quite easy, not strenuous at all. Appropriate for any level. The trail has undergone a lot of improvements over the last few years and there are new stairs and boardwalks across the muckier parts of the trail. Cameron Falls isn't anything super spectacular, but it's a... More

This hike actually took about 40min's to hike- but was fantastic once you got there - take a snack and water because we could have stayed all day.There is actually another water falls that only takes under 10min's to get to at Hidden Lake and you can hike right up to the base of it for pictures to look like...

The road from Yellowknife is pretty bumpy and the hike takes a bit of effort, but that's part of the fun. Cameron Falls is pretty scenic and there are several vantage points along the trail. It was a good experience on a nice Fall day.

This is a lovely trail and the falls themselves are beautiful. However there are maps to show how the trail goes before you head out (we had hoped it looped). Also, you are climbing over some good-sized rocks to anyone with knee problems going up or down might have some difficulty. The trail itself is marked with the usual 'hiker'... More

fast and great if you have kids in tow. It's a short distance and I would have liked to see more of a picnic area set up for people who do go as it's really just walkways and damp rocks.
