We visited Montmorency Falls, as a half-day sidetrip on our roadtrip from Montreal to Quebec City, in Canada. We booked an airbnb at Boischatel during our visit to Quebec city and Montmorency Falls happened to be very close to our stay location.
Montmorency Falls is on Montmorency River and located on the boundary between the borough of Beauport and Boischatel. The waterfalls are 83 m (272’) tall, a full 30 m (99’) higher than Niagara Falls. It is one of the ten tallest waterfalls in Canada.
You can park at the base location(there is parking fee), visit the interpretive center and start from the station and do the “PROMENADE DE LA CHUTE”. This trail enables you to get close to the waterfall, right up to the concrete promontory. It is around 1 km - 1.5 km to reach from base station to the panoramic stairs.
It’s the ideal place to be splashed by the spray of the waterfall and to feel all of its cascading might.
Once you reach the base , you can take the “THE PANORAMIC STAIRCASE”. These staircases allow visitors to view the falls from several different perspectives. Take the 487-step panoramic staircase from the bottom to the top of the park.
We just did the trail from base parking lot to top of the park and then walked down the same way back , as it started pouring down very heavily.
Other activities
- A suspension bridge over the crest of the falls provides access to both sides of the park.
- There is also an aerial tram (Funitel) that carries passengers between the base and the top of the falls as well.
- There is a zipline as well, but it is at the top of the park.
Location
- Location of base parking : 5300 Boulevard Sainte-Anne, Beauport, Quebec G1C 0M3, Canada
Entry fee: Paid, need to pay for parking extra
