Coulonge Chutes, Waterfall in Mansfield-et-Pontefract, Canada.
The Coulonge Chutes cascade down 48 meters through a natural gorge, forming a central feature of the Coulonge River system in western Quebec.
The waterfall site transformed from a timber industry hub to a public park in 1985, following the end of log drives that operated until 1982.
The cement log slide near the falls represents the evolution of timber transportation methods, which supported the development of North American cities.
Visitors can access the falls at 100 Promenade Du-Parc-des-Chutes in Mansfield-et-Pontefract, with seasonal activities and educational programs throughout the year.
The park maintains a 100-meter cement log slide structure, which replaced the original 3,000-foot wooden construction used for timber transportation.

Quebec provides varied photographic settings across a province that combines French colonial heritage with extensive natural landscapes. In Quebec City, the stone buildings of Old Quebec, Fairmont Le Château Frontenac, and Montmorency Falls with its 83-meter drop form key subjects. The historic Quartier Petit Champlain, Frontenac Staircase, and Grande-Allée display the city's European-influenced architecture, while the Plains of Abraham and Observatoire de la Capitale offer vantage points. Montreal presents different photographic opportunities with Notre-Dame Basilica, Saint Joseph's Oratory on Mount Royal, and contemporary facilities like the Biosphère and Grande Roue. Lachine Canal and street art along Boulevard Saint-Laurent add to urban captures. The Gaspé Peninsula, Jacques-Cartier National Park, Laurentides Wildlife Reserve, and locations like Île d'Orléans and Mont-Tremblant show the province's natural terrain. The Saint Lawrence River connects many of these sites as the primary waterway, from its lower reaches near Rimouski to the riverbanks at Montreal and Quebec City.
