Table of contents

The trek to Burnett Falls follows a 0.3mi out-and-back hiking route that climbs uphill to a viewpoint overlooking the waterfall. Although it is very short, the route works up an elevation gain of 98ft through the forest, eventually providing views across the canyon and the cascading water of the falls. Make sure to time this hike for the winter or spring when the water levels are generally higher and the powerful falls will create more of a spectacle.

Route Description for Burnett Falls Hike

The Burnett Falls Trail is a quick, family-friendly hiking route in Sechelt, BC, that will expose you to a tranquil forest setting and some scenic views overlooking the canyon and a beautiful waterfall. Setting out from the trailhead, pass by the metal gate and work your way uphill toward the edge of the forest. Shortly after passing by a picnic table, follow the path into the tree cover to begin the more scenic portion of the hike. Here, the trail will begin to climb more steeply uphill until you arrive at a small bench with views overlooking the rushing water of the falls. After enjoying the serene setting and taking in the views, head back down the same route to return to the trailhead.
