Hiking in Parc de la Chute-Montmorency: trails, map and practical info

Absolutely amazing park! So much to do across the 3km trail network and beautiful views everywhere from the belvederes and bridge. Now what I don't recommend is swimming under the falls - signs warn it's very dangerous and I completely agree. Unless you're a very strong swimmer, don't swim far out because the current is VERY strong and could sweep you to the Saint Lawrence. The cable car was super fun, there's quite a bit of parking at upper and lower areas (though fees apply), and the bridge over the falls was amazing. The park offers great accessibility features too.

Absolutely loved the falls. I visited in March so the falls were almost frozen over - a lovely experience for someone who lives where there's no snow. The facilities at the bottom are great with clean restrooms, good food and ample seating areas with picnic tables. Very comfortable cable car lifts as well. The upper park can be reached by road too and in summers you can trek the easy 3km trail system with 83m elevation gain. The park is accessible for people with reduced mobility and offers interpretation centers. Definitely a must see near Quebec City.

This was the second time here, and the first time with all my kids. They enjoyed it though thought they were visiting Niagara Falls - an argument on geography ensued. Parking was tricky at a cost of just over $14 at the main Boulevard Sainte-Anne entrance. However, parking at the lower end is available. The cable car costs $15+ for adults and $12 for children. We walked the 3km trail system instead, getting exercise trekking up the 83m elevation and collecting photos. We brought our own lunch avoiding pricey restaurant food. The zip line across the falls offers adrenaline but requires signing liability waivers.

The falls were amazing, had lot of things to do across the easy 3km trail system with 83m elevation gain. There were many trails, access to the foothills of the falls where you could experience the cool mist of the falls and it was really refreshing. The cable car takes you to the foot hills and cost $42 for a couple. We also zip lined over the falls - a thrilling experience using the park's adventure facilities. The interpretation center and belvederes provided great viewpoints. Overall it was a day trip we totally enjoyed and would definitely go again. Please like my review if it was helpful!

A pleasant side trip from Quebec City on a warm afternoon. Combines well with the Isle d'Orleans. Well organized with many separate attractions and amenities across the 3km trail network. A cable car brings you to the summit to a heart pumping encounter with 'la chute'. Cross above on a bridge, hike alongside or soar over the canyon on a zip line. There is a pleasant restaurant and informal food and beverage options. Parking is ample though not complimentary as initially thought - fees apply at the main entrance on Boulevard Sainte-Anne.
