Hixon Falls are tucked in behind the tiny town of Hixon just a short 4 km (2.4 mi) jaunt off Hwy 97. Turn east on Hixon Creek Rd. along a dirt, and at times, winding road until you reach a parking area. From there, follow a narrow path by foot until you hear the sound of falling water. Pack a lunch and sit by the water’s edge, wander along the shoreline, or simply revel in the splendour of the falls.
