Chaudière Falls, Double waterfall system in Ontario and Quebec, Canada
The water flows across multiple segments with a width of 240 meters and heights reaching 35 meters on the Quebec side and 10 meters on the Ontario side.
The falls powered the lumber industry in the 1800s, with numerous mills utilizing the water force to process timber along the Ottawa River banks.
The Algonquin Anishinaabe people named the falls Asticou, meaning kettle, due to the shape and mist formations at the base of the cascading water.
The falls feature viewing platforms, walking trails, and a 113-meter suspension bridge that connects both provincial sides across the Ottawa River.
The hydroelectric complex, including Canada's oldest operating station from 1891, generates clean energy for 20,000 homes through underground turbines.
