Crescent Falls Provincial Recreation Area has a campground with 12 tent-only campsites and 22 RV campsites (max trailer size 25ft). The day use has several newly renovated platforms for visitors to safely enjoy the views of the falls. The new staircase at the lower platform will lead you to a safe viewpoint of the waterfalls. A new trail from the upper parking lot area will lead you to the day use area. This new access trail is 0.8 km in length and has an elevation gain of 63m and is rated moderate to expert skill level due to the incline. There is no general parking at the lower day use area or within the campground, however a drop off zone is available. Designated stalls for those with an accessible parking placard are available in the drop off zone.
The Bighorn Canyon Trail begins at the lower day use area. This trail is approximately 3 km long (one-way) and rated to be a moderate hike due to the steep cliff edge. Please be cautious when hiking and ensure you have proper footwear. The end of the trail overlooks Bighorn Canyon at a viewpoint. Return the way you came.
