About Duchesnay Falls

This is a great site that shouldn't be missed. Duchesnay Falls starts as a series of low, picturesque cascades on the river. The river soon breaks into two main channels, each which tumble over several different waterfalls. The east channel has two main waterfalls as well as a "staircase-like" cascade. The uppermost falls is the "staircase" cascade, where a narrow section of the river flows down through the forest over a narrow bedrock exposure at about a 30 degree angle. The second waterfall is a 8 to 10 m high cascade, occuring just 20-30 m downstream of the split between the two channels.
