Takakkaw Falls (Template:IPAc-en; also spelled Takkakaw[1]) is a waterfall in Yoho National Park, near Field, British Columbia, in Canada. The falls have a total height of Template:Convert,[1] making them the second tallest waterfall in Canada.[2][3] The main drop of the waterfall has a height of Template:Convert.[1]

"Takakkaw" means "magnificent” in the Cree language.[1] The falls are fed by the meltwater of the Daly Glacier, which is part of the Waputik Icefield.[1][4][2][3] The glacier keeps the volume of the falls up during the warm summer months, and they are a tourist attraction, particularly in late spring after the heavy snow melts, when the falls are at peak condition.[3]

Height

Various sources place the total vertical height of Takakkaw Falls between Template:Convert and Template:Convert.[1][4] The waterfall was formerly thought to be the tallest in Canada, but a survey in 1985 found that it is actually shorter than Della Falls on Vancouver Island.[1] The results of that survey also concluded that the main drop of the falls is Template:Convert high.[1]

In popular culture

The Takakkaw Falls were featured in the 1995 film Last of the Dogmen.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
