There is a 150 metre universally accessible trail to the viewing platform at the lip of the falls, and it is a 250 m walk to the upper viewpoint. A 1.5 km trail leads to the Leake Viewpoint, and it is 2 km each way from the trailhead to the Downstream Viewpoint and Riverside Viewpoint.

Just after the paved road ends (17 km from Tumbler Ridge) the road to Kinuseo Falls in Monkman Provincial Park passes the plant site of the Quintette coal mine, then passes through two short tunnels under mining roads. The road crosses the Murray River 23 km from Tumbler Ridge. There are two bridges further upstream: one is reached by a side road that leaves the main road 35 km from Tumbler Ridge, and 43 km from Tumbler Ridge the main road to the falls crosses the river again. These bridges allow for the canoe trip down the Murray River (Class 2 with small rapids) to be broken up into shorter sections. You can also portage a canoe for 1.5 km from the Kinuseo Falls parking lot down to the river. A canoe trip from here to Tumbler Ridge is best done as an overnight trip. Just after the first river crossing, 23 km from Tumbler Ridge, a spur road to the right leads up onto Mt Hermann. This road, rough at times and more suitable for 4WD vehicles, leads to a subalpine summit with views of the surrounding hills and mountains, which is a popular ATV destination. The sign-posted spur road on the left that begins 35 km from Tumbler Ridge leads to hiking trails to two attractive waterfalls: Nesbitt’s Knee Falls and Barbour Falls. Each trail is just over two km return distance. The trails are mostly easy and flat, with steeper options down to creek level. Trail descriptions and maps are available at the Tumbler Ridge Visitor Centre or at www.wnms.ca. After crossing the Murray River for the second time there are several views of Castle Mountain, the Shark’s Fin, and Boone Taylor Peak. The small parking area for the Greg Duke Memorial Trail is reached 58 km from Tumbler Ridge. A short trail leads for 400 metres to the shore of Irene Lake, and then continues up to Norden Lake (4 km return). There is a dock at Irene Lake, and viewing benches at both lakes. Just before the entrance sign for Monkman Provincial Park, and just over 59 km from Tumbler Ridge, there is a narrow spur road on the left. This was the original route in to the falls from Alberta. In the first kilometre the road hugs the shore of narrow Serpent Lake, a good place to look for loons and beavers. The parking area for the trails to the Stone Corral and Green Bowl, and Lake Joan and Canary Falls is 62 km from Tumbler Ridge. An interpretive brochure for the Stone Corral trail describes twenty points of interest. This very scenic, moderate 3 km trail leads through a limestone landscape past a variety of geological and hydro-logical features. Take a flashlight along to explore Corral Cave and Porcupine Cave. The trail to Lake Joan and Canary Falls (two km return distance) is rated moderate, and starts across the road from the parking lot. The final kilometre of road to the falls runs beside the Murray River. This is a good place to look for Harlequin Duck in the fast-flowing waters, which then accelerate and drop down a series of diagonal ledges before the final plunge. There is a small, precariously situated island at the top of the falls. Part of the waters flow left around it and fall down in a separate jet.

There is a 150 metre universally accessible trail to the Viewing Platform at the lip of the falls, and it is a 250 m walk to the Upper Viewpoint. A 1.5 km trail leads to the Leake Viewpoint, and it is 2 km each way from the trailhead to the Downstream Viewpoint and Riverside Viewpoint.

To reach the falls follow Hwy 52 E for 14 km south from Tumbler Ridge, then turn right onto the Kinuseo Falls Road. This road is gravel all the way to the falls for another 51 km, with directional signage at intersections. This gravel road can be rough, so please drive with caution. There are some kilometre markers along the road. Once you enter Monkman Provincial Park, the falls are reached by a sign-posted 1 km spur road to the right. There is a large parking area with picnic tables and outhouses before the falls.

Check road conditions prior to departure for Monkman Provincial Park.

Use a radio on the Murray FSR as there is active industrial activity in this area.
