The Crescent Falls Provincial Recreation Area is established immediately up-river from the falls. The waterfall is two-tiered and has a height of 25m. Visitors are allowed at the waterfalls year-round. Nearby to the waterfalls is a campsite run by Westward Bound Campgrounds. It is un-serviced. CampgroundTo the north-west of Crescent Falls is a campground run by Westward Bound Campgrounds. It currently has 31 available sites to camp on, and is open from May 1 to October 14.
