About
Parc de la Chute-Montmorency is a nature park set around Montmorency Falls, just outside Quebec City in Canada. It makes a good outing for visitors who want to step out of the city and spend a few hours in open landscape.
The park is built around the falls themselves, which are the centrepiece of any visit. Hiking trails lead through the surrounding grounds, giving walkers a chance to see the water and the gorge from different angles at a comfortable pace.
What to do
- Hike the trails that wind through the park and around the falls.
- Take the zip line over the gorge, one of the park's seasonal activities.
- Explore by season, since the park offers different activities depending on the time of year.
Planning your visit
The park is a natural setting rather than a built attraction, so it suits people who enjoy walking, fresh air and views of water and rock. Because some activities run only seasonally, it is worth checking what is available before you travel. Visitors staying in Quebec City can easily make the park a half-day trip, combining the walk with time in the city afterwards.
