Trail description
The Falls and What Makes Them Special
The centerpiece is, of course, the Chute Montmorency itself. The waterfall drops dramatically into the Montmorency River, which flows into the St. Lawrence River. The scale of it hits differently depending on where you're standing. From the base, you get the full vertical impact — the roar, the mist, the sheer wall of water. From the suspension bridge at the top, you're looking straight down into the gorge, which is a completely different kind of experience. Both perspectives are worth it, and the trail system is set up so you can do both in a single loop.
