Montmorency Falls in Quebec City

Located just a short drive from downtown Quebec City, Montmorency Falls is an 84m high waterfall that feeds into the St. Lawrence River. The waterfall is spanned by a pedestrian bridge that allows visitors to look down at the cascading water of the Montmorency River. 

In the middle of winter this view is especially dramatic with ice formations on the river and surrounding cliffs changing the look and impacting the course of Montmorency Falls. Depending on the temperature, visitors can also venture out onto the ice to view the falls from below. Not surprisingly though, access to the park is noticeably more limited in the winter months.
