Parc de la Chute-Montmorency

Parc de la Chute-Montmorency is a regional park centered on an 83-meter waterfall near Quebec City. The grounds include hiking trails at various elevations, a cable car system, and a restaurant housed in a 19th-century manor building that overlooks the cascade.

The waterfall held importance for early French settlers and later attracted British governors who built a residence there. The manor from the 1800s marked the shift from an isolated natural site to a destination visited by colonial authorities.

The site holds meaning for the Mi'kmaq people who lived here long before European settlement. Today, the waterfall represents an important natural landmark in the region's collective memory.

The grounds are open year-round with pathways and a cable car serving different fitness levels. There are accessible viewing areas and several outlooks that require no strenuous climbing to reach.

A double zipline system flies directly across the face of the waterfall, offering an aerial rush through the mist. This experience merges modern adventure sports with an up-close view of the falling water.
