Coulonge Chutes, Waterfall in Mansfield-et-Pontefract, Canada.
Coulonge Chutes is a waterfall on the Coulonge River in western Quebec that plunges 48 meters down through a rocky gorge. The water drops with considerable force, creating a dramatic display of mist and spray within the narrow canyon walls.
The area was once a major timber industry hub where logs were moved down the river system. The site became a public park in 1985 after logging operations ended, transforming it into a space for recreation and learning.
The cement log slide near the falls shows how timber transportation methods evolved and supported the development of North American cities.
The park can be reached at 100 Promenade Du-Parc-des-Chutes in Mansfield-et-Pontefract and offers trails with viewpoints at different heights. Depending on the season, visitors can enjoy various activities, from observation paths during wet weather to picnic areas in good conditions.
A 100-meter cement log slide stands at this location, a relic from when logs were sent down the river in this way. This structure is now one of the few remaining examples of this distinctive timber transport method from the logging era.
