Hike to the Cutbank Twin Falls

Directions: From Grande Prairie, drive about 50 minutes south on Highway 40. There is a ditch and an industrial road just off the side of the Highway, about 2 kilometers after the bridge. The trail is right off of the Highway, accessible by the ditch.

Right before the bridge, that is crossing the Cutbank River, there is a food truck and a campground without a fee. There is also a network of ATV trails around the river and campground, as well as leading to the falls. If you are taking an ATV to the falls, be aware that the trail gets pretty steep and rutty. But other than that it is a very enjoyable trail. The first kilometer is flat ground, then another kilometer of descending the Cutbank valley, and about 500 meters of continuing along the trail close to the river. It winds down the valley and crosses a creek, eventually coming to a viewpoint on the edge of a cliff. Continuing along the trail from the viewpoint will bring you to the falls. They are a set of 2 waterfalls that drop around 2 meters each. At the falls, you can cliff jump along with go swimming, in the summer, when the water isn't freezing cold. You can also fish anywhere in the Cutbank River. There is Northern Pike, Walleye, and Bull Trout.

The trail is about 2.5 kilometers long one way, and around 5 kilometers round trip. Mosquitoes and other nasty insects can be annoying, mainly in the summer.
