Chute Sainte-Anne, Waterfall in Canyon Sainte-Anne, Canada

Chute Sainte-Anne is a waterfall in Canyon Sainte-Anne in Quebec's Capitale-Nationale region, plunging 74 meters down sheer granite walls. The site features suspension bridges, hiking paths, and observation decks positioned at different heights to view the water from multiple angles.

Logger Jean-Marie McNicoll discovered the site's potential during a 1965 expedition, leading to its public opening in 1973. The waterfall and canyon had been known to local residents for generations before becoming a developed tourist destination.

The waterfall gives its name to Canyon Sainte-Anne, the gorge it runs through in the Capitale-Nationale region. The site lies between Saint-Joachim and Saint-Ferréol-les-Neiges, and visitors follow marked trails and footbridges to the falls.

Visit when trails are dry, as bridges and paths become slippery after rain or snow. Wear sturdy footwear and plan enough time to explore the different levels and viewing points throughout the canyon.

Chute Sainte-Anne lies in Canyon Sainte-Anne, a gorge cut into the Canadian Shield's Precambrian granite near Saint-Joachim and Saint-Ferréol-les-Neiges. The waterfall drops about 74 metres into the canyon. Visitors cross the gorge on suspension bridges, including one suspended high above the chute, and look down on the rock walls from observation decks.
