A well-traveled, well-maintained path up a set of stairs and over the waterfalls via a wooden bridge...popular for families. There is a fee for parking. Accessibility: It is unclear if there are any designated accessible parking spaces in the small paved parking lot at the south end of the trail. The trail surface is dirt or boardwalk. It is typically at least 1.5 meters wide. There are staircases at the end of the trail to view the falls. After the first 1.1 kilometers, the grade changes from gentle (3% or less) to very steep (over 12%) so only the first part of this trail is considered navigable for wheelchairs and strollers (to the lower viewpoint, which has been marked with a waypoint).

Almost 500 stairs to the top but the view is incredible! You can walk along both sides on the bottom and get great views. If you hike up the stairs to the top you can cross the suspension bridge over top of the falls. This is one of the taller single drop falls and it’s actually 100ft taller than Niagara Falls!

The trail was closed due to being frozen and snowstorm, but went up anyway and came down through the streets.

Falls are spectacular. Weather was beautiful. The park itself seems a bit run-down

Part of the loop is closed off but you can take an easy little detour instead.

Breathtaking it’s a must - another’s mother natures miracle !

September 17, 2023Hiking

Fun walk with a massive set of stairs in the middle and a suspension bridge at the top. Many places to see the waterfall, people zip lining and others climbing the cliff face adjacent to the falls. Lots of people though, as was expected for Quebec City's #2 attraction.

September 9, 2023Hiking

Not too many people early, but then three tour buses arrived. Stairs are easy to climb.

September 6, 2023Hiking

Nice gentle walk, save the return when you have to go up 487 steps! Offers great views of the waterfall.

Conditions: Fee, No shade, Private property, Great!

Bring water. The path is quite crowded but the falls are nice to see nonetheless.

Entry to path from inside the building at end of parking lot. Rather crowded, so we just walked far enough to get a good look at the falls.

July 30, 2023Hiking

Easy hike. Took the out and back trail along the River, starts right before the pedestrian bridge

July 23, 2023Hiking

Trailhead parking free here. Follow railroad tracks to main trail by gondola. There are 487 steps up to falls overlook. Tourists are abundant but the falls are impressive. Zip line and climbing options for hire.

July 4, 2023Hiking

By using the access indicated on the map, there is no charge for the small parking lot. We start on the railway line, then we end up at a very touristic and busy site, but which is absolutely worth the detour. Dogs allowed on leash!

Flat and wheelchair accessible with two great places to take pictures! There’s a parking lot at the top for people who don’t want to climb the panoramic staircase or pay for the gondola.

Conditions: Great!

The trail up to the waterfall is closed so we had to take the cable car up- very fun though!

June 4, 2023Hiking

Falls are amazing. Had to switch to the cable car due to path being closed $56 for both of us. But worth the cost since we will probably not be back again.

May 27, 2023Hiking

A lot of people. Almost the entire trail closed today
