You can explore the updated wayfinding and educational panels along the main viewing deck and the trailhead connecting to Find hiking and cycling trails. The City worked with local historians and the Old Mill Museum & Archives to make sure the information reflects both the industrial past of the falls and the natural environment we protect today. You can scan QR codes on the signs to listen to audio recordings, view historical photographs from the archives, and learn about the species that thrive in the Corvid Creek Ravine.

"We want our parks to be more than just green space,” says Maya Chen-Watson, Parks Planner with the City. “These signs invite you to slow down, look at the river, and understand the stories layered into this landscape. It’s a great addition for families exploring the trail and for visitors taking in the view.

Visit the park at your convenience. The signage is wheelchair accessible and includes large-print summaries for visitors with visual impairments. If you have suggestions for future trail features or want to learn more about how the City manages park landscapes, you can find more information on the Arts & Heritage page.
