Elbow Falls

Elbow Falls is a small set of waterfalls along the Elbow River, west of the hamlet of Bragg Creek within Kananaskis Country, Alberta. They are located along Highway 66, 20 km (12 mi) west of the Bragg Creek turnoff on Highway 22X.

In the dry season, the falls reach a height of 6 meters (20 ft), while in June, during high discharges, the river fills up and the waterfall is only 3 m (10 ft) high.[1]

A day use area (i.e. picnics) is maintained at the falls site, and also serves as the start/finish of a short 1 km (1 mi) long hiking trail.[2] Overnight camping is available at several nearby campgrounds. [3]
