Baileys Chute is where the Clearwater River narrows and becomes a series of rapids and small waterfalls. When measured by peak flow rate, Baileys Chute is one of the largest waterfalls in BC. The power of this turbulent river is truly astounding!

The short walk to Baileys Chute is 1.6km return and is mostly flat. There is a viewing platform with interpretive signage on the riverbank.

This is a popular place watch the salmon run in September. While an impossible feat for the fish, it is fascinating (and moving!) to watch them fight their way through the rapids. Spring is another good time to come as the river is even more powerful with the snow melt.

If you're just after a short walk, turn around at Baileys Chute. Otherwise, continue along the riverside trail to see Marcus Falls (20 minutes further) and Myanth Falls (another 30 minutes from Marcus).

Please note that the Clearwater Valley Road is unpaved after Helmcken Falls. The road is usually in decent condition but it is narrow in areas, can be dusty and may have some small potholes/rocks. The speed limit is 60km/h.
