- Shannon Falls Provincial Park
Shannon Falls Provincial Park is a provincial park in British Columbia, Canada. It is located km to mi|58 from Vancouver and km to mi|2 south of Squamish along the Sea to Sky Highway.
The park covers an area of 87 hectares. The main point of interest is the third highest waterfall in BC, where water falls from a height of m to ft|335 [http://www.env.gov.bc.ca/bcparks/explore/parkpgs/shannon/] . The falls are named after Shannon who owned the property and made bricks in the area.
The park also protects the surrounding area on the north-east shore of the Howe Sound.
Just to the north are Murrin Provincial Park and Stawamus Chief Provincial Park. Located immediately across the highway from Shannon Falls is a privately-operated campground and restaurant, plus the entrance Darrell Bay ferry terminal for Woodfibre.
