Chute Ouiatchouan, 72-meter waterfall in Chambord, Canada.

The Ouiatchouan Falls create a white water column dropping from the cliff face into the river below at Val-Jalbert village.

In 1901, the waterfall provided power to the Val-Jalbert pulp mill, which operated until 1927 and supported the local economy.

The name Ouiatchouan comes from the Innu language, referring to the water current that creates whirlpools at the base.

The site offers guided trolley tours, an immersive show, cable car rides, and access to hiking trails throughout the operating season.

A glass observation deck extends over the cliff edge, allowing visitors to experience the full force of the falling water.
