Shawinigan Falls

  • Did you know that The Shawinigan Falls are almost as tall as Niagaras?!

 

  • One of the most spectacular sights in the area, these falls are unique in that they only surge with water when the hydroelectric dam opens its gates—Mother Nature decides when! Otherwise, visitors can spot the legendary “Trou du Diable” nestled among the rocks. With or without water, the site is always breathtaking.

 

  • Every spring, the lookout point in the Falls sector of Parc de l’Île-Melville becomes the place to be for nature lovers and photographers alike!
