Additional Information

Visitors can call the park reception desk to obtain permission to park in the old parking lot near the logger's shelter, which provides access to the De la Dam trail. This option is only available in summer and fall. In winter, the trail is not accessible, as the route from the visitor center has several obstacles.
The trail begins with slopes of up to 21%, then generally becomes gentler. The ground is washed out in places, forming crevasses. The trail offers a view of the river and includes a rest area, but the table is not accessible and access to this area involves a slope of approximately 24%. The covered bridge has an 11 cm threshold to reach the other side. On the other side, the section of the yellow trail is very steep.

Description

Chute-à-Bull Regional Park offers a network of approximately 7 km of hiking trails and a view of the 18 m high waterfall. The visitor center is not accessible and there are no accessible toilets available, either in the building or elsewhere on the site. No adapted hiking equipment is available. The trails have steep slopes and numerous obstacles, including steps, rocks, and roots. In summer and fall, however, it is possible to park near the logger's shelter, which can facilitate access to the De la Dam trail.
