Ione Falls is conveniently only steps away from the parking lot. A waterfall for everyone to enjoy. Even though it's right along highway BC-23, opposite side from the lake, it's quite easy to drive past because it's on a slight angle. It's huge, and once you know it's there, you cannot miss it. There is a fair sized parking lot, as it can be busy in the summer. But winter, we had it all to ourselves. It was quite fun to play around this waterfall during January to see the icicles and winter flow rate. Which was still quite good.
Luckily, there are even a few picnic tables in front of the falls if you're looking for a scenic lunch rest stop. On one side you'll have the large beautiful moss covered Ione Falls, and then just across the road is the gigantic sprawling Arrow Lake. Fantastic road side stop with a waterfall just north of Nakusp in British Columbia Canada.

Definitely a waterfall for everyone, Ione Falls is just where that picnic table on the far right is located. Very close to the parking lot.

With it being winter. And a waterfall, the ground can be quite icy. Luckily there wasn't much spray or ice around the base, so I was able to get a but closer.

Winter waterfall adventures are a lot of fun. Ione isn't a massive waterfall, but it's quite large at just under 100 feet

It's an interesting climate around this area. It basically ranges from 5 to -5 in the winter. So cold enough to freeze at a slow rate, but not cold enough to freeze the big lakes at all.

There was a dry path along the side of the waterfall so naturally I had to check it out. I went about 1/3 of the way up.

Once I was part way up and near the middle, I could feel a bit of spray from the falls. I imagine in the summer it would be quite the misty shower below.

Ione Falls is a nice spot to take a break if you're not going to make the ferry to Revelstoke in time. Why not relax a bit and have a picnic at Ione Falls.

Ione Falls Rest Area is located between Nakusp and the ferry to Revelstoke. 10 minutes south of Halcyon Hot Springs.

With such easy access, one would be silly to just drive by the Ione Rest Area. It's certainly worth a stop.

Ione Falls is on one side of Hwy BC-23, which the beautiful Arrow Lake sits directly on the other side. Such a perfect little picnic area.
