The park was established in 1977 to conserve and protect the spawning beds used by sockeye, chinook, coho and pink salmon.

There are a number of platforms and walkways where you can safely view and photograph the falls.
Near the northern end of the Icefields Parkway lies the Valley of the Five Lakes, with a 4.5 km hiking trail connecting the five lakes. Pass Jasper and continue towards the town of Hinton.
