Parc des chutes de Sainte-Ursule, Regional park in Sainte-Ursule, Canada
Parc des chutes de Sainte-Ursule is a regional park in Mauricie, Quebec, organized around a series of waterfalls created by the Maskinongé River. The site features multiple cascades with the highest reaching 30 meters, accessible through a network of marked trails and viewing platforms.
The waterfalls attracted early settlers to the region, who established the community of Sainte-Ursule in the Mauricie area of Quebec. The river's power and the falls themselves became central to how the local society developed and sustained itself.
The waterfalls have long held importance for the local community as a natural landmark that defined the region's character and identity. You can sense this connection as you walk through the park and encounter different perspectives of the water and rocks.
The park features a network of well-marked trails of varying difficulty, allowing visitors to choose their own pace and experience level. Designated viewpoints and observation towers are positioned throughout to offer safe and comfortable spots for watching the waterfalls.
The waterfalls reveal different faces depending on which vantage point you choose, offering each visitor a personal journey of discovery. This variety of perspectives means no two visits are ever quite the same, and the falls look different from each viewing spot.
