Bow Falls is a major waterfall on the Bow River, Alberta just before the junction of it and the Spray River.[1] The falls are located near the Banff Springs Hotel and golf course on the left-hand side of River Road.
The falls are within walking distance of both Banff and the Banff Springs Hotel so they are visited by a large number of tourists despite their relatively small size.
The 1953 Marilyn Monroe film River of No Return featured the falls.
