context_page_description: Myra Falls is a region of central Vancouver Island named for the waterfall located at the south end of Buttle Lake. The region is part of the Strathcona-Westmin Provincial Park and is unusual in that it contains an active mine which predates the park. The Myra Falls area is accessible to the public via a paved road to the Myra Falls mine gate or by boat on Buttle Lake. The falls and Myra Creek were named for Myra Ellison, daughter of Price Ellison who was part of the exploratory survey in 1910 that preceded the creation of Strathcona Provincial Park.
context_section_description: These spectacular falls cascade below into Buttle Lake from a small upper valley.
  
  Scenic attractions near the mine are Upper and Lower Myra Falls plus hiking trails to Phillips Ridge, Tennent Lake, Bedwell Lake and Cream Lake.
