Description

Designated a site of aesthetic interest in La Matapédia, the 33-meter-high Philomène Falls is undoubtedly one of the region’s main natural attractions. The site offers two trails for viewing the top and base of the falls. A picnic area has been set up there. The La Matapédia Mountain Biking Club has built a suspended platform (viewing platform) overlooking the falls.
