Sambaa Deh Falls Territorial Park

Located on Highway 1 between Fort Providence and Jean Marie River. The Sambaa Deh Falls Park is nestled on the Trout River, the Trout River (Sambaa Deh in the Slavey language) was a traditional transportation route before and during the fur trade. The falls forced travellers to portage around this dangerous stretch of water. Today, hiking trails take you to views of both Sambaa Deh and Coral Falls. Coral Falls is named for the coral fossils washed down the river each year.

The Trout River flows in a canyon with steep, narrow sides below Sambaa Deh Falls. If you stand on the side, feel the rock vibrating under your feet from the force of the water roaring below. Please take care, because the rocks may be slippery when wet, and there are no fences.
