Hike Vancouver. "Rolley Falls and Lake." Updated October 24, 2026. https://hikevancouver.ca/trails/rolley-falls/
At Rolley Lake Provincial Park near Mission, start at the north end of the bridge on the red-marked Falls Loop Trail. Climb beside the creek to a platform below Rolley Falls (an old mine shaft sits at its base), continue with views of Stave Lake to a bridge over the upper falls, then through tall trees to the campground and around Rolley Lake before descending the Falls Loop back to the road.

Hi, I'm Cam Appleton. I love Vancouver and I love getting out on its trails. When I went looking for a simple, easy hiking guide for around here, I couldn't find one I liked. I also really like helping people, so I built this one.
My day job is real estate. I help people buy, sell and lease. I hope you're enjoying the start of Hike Vancouver. If you're thinking about living closer to trails like this one, I'm happy to talk.
