Bridal Falls, Chilliwack, BC. Bridal Veil Falls is the 38th highest waterfall in British Columbia and is commonly stated incorrectly as the 4th tallest in Canada. The falls drop 122 metres (400 feet) over a wide rock face, creating a "veil-like" effect, however, only the bottom 200-250 feet can clearly be viewed from the base, due to significant foreshortening. It is located at the south end of Bridal Veil Falls Provincial Park and its source is from Larch Mountain and flows into Bridal Creek where it travels to Cheam Lake Wetlands Regional Park and finally to the Fraser River.

During drier summer months, the volume of the water decreases significantly, reducing the visual affect of the waterfall.

Bridal Veil Falls tend to freeze during cold winters and creates a wall of unstable ice. Although it is nice to look at, the base of the falls becomes an extremely hazardous area and the park remains closed during the winter season.

The waterfall was formed by volcanic magma coming up from the Earth's centre and going into gaps between the plates of the earth. When it cools down it pushes the earth up and the surface rises forming a drop. If water is flowing over the drop then a waterfall is created.

The Bridal Veil Falls was named in the 1700s by the village of Popkum. In the early 1900s, the village utilized the waterfall with a hydro-electric generator to power the chalet and heated swimming pool in the village. Only the concrete foundation of the generator can be found today.
