Parc of the Kabir Kouba Cliff and Waterfall, Natural park with waterfall in Loretteville, Quebec City, Canada.
The park extends 1.5 kilometers along the Saint-Charles River, featuring a 28-meter waterfall and a 42-meter canyon with walking trails.
Jesuits built a flour mill near the waterfall in 1732, later adding a sawmill in 1749, until its destruction by fire in 1900.
The name Kabir Kouba originates from Montagnais language, meaning river of thousand bends, reflecting the water course through the territory.
The interpretive center provides 75-minute guided tours focusing on geological features, including 455-million-year-old marine fossils and canyon formation.
The waterfall marks the junction between Saint-Lawrence lowlands and Canadian Shield, containing marine fossils from the ancient Iapetus Ocean.
