Facts and practical information

Nestled within the rugged beauty of Jasper National Park in Canada, Tangle Falls is a multi-tiered cascade that offers a spectacular and easily accessible natural attraction for visitors. This picturesque waterfall is less than a hundred meters from the Icefields Parkway, a scenic drive renowned for its breathtaking views of the Canadian Rockies.

Tangle Falls is characterized by its series of small, gracefully intertwined waterfalls, which give the site its name. The falls are fed by Tangle Creek, and the water cascades over limestone rock, creating a stunning visual effect that is particularly impressive during the spring thaw or after heavy rainfall. This natural wonder is a favorite spot for photographers and nature lovers who are drawn to its serene beauty and the melodious sounds of rushing water.

Visitors to Tangle Falls will find that there are no admission fees, making it an affordable and accessible stop on any trip through Jasper National Park. There is a small parking area near the falls, which can be reached by a short walk from the roadside. The falls are not only a sight to behold but also provide a refreshing mist on warmer days, which can be a welcome respite during a summer journey through the park.

While there are no formal hiking trails leading to the top of the falls, those looking for a closer view can carefully navigate the rocky terrain for a different perspective. However, visitors should exercise caution, as the rocks can be slippery and the area is not maintained for climbing.

Tangle Falls is open year-round, although accessibility may vary depending on weather conditions, especially in winter when the Icefields Parkway can experience closures due to snow and ice. Before planning a visit, it's advisable to check the current road conditions and park advisories.
