Additional information

    • In the Charny area, the Les Belvédères trail is not very steep. Not all lookouts are accessible, but some are. The view of the falls may be hampered by the wooden fences for a seated person. There are a few wooden thresholds on the trail, varying in height from 2.5 to 4 cm.
    • A section of the La presque île trail can be accessed from the Saint-Nicolal side. From the parking lot, take the Piste multifonctionnelle down a slope ranging from 2.5% to 4%. A little further down, a lookout made of compacted rock dust offers a fine view of the falls from above. The fences give a better view of this side of the park.
    • Please note that the footbridge over the river is not wheelchair accessible.
