Rich in exceptional flora and fauna, the Parc régional de la Chute-à-Bull invites you to explore its six (6) kilometers of hiking trails. The park offers short hiking options, ideal for families. You can easily create your itinerary by consulting the park map.
The waterfall trail takes you along the Boule River, where waterfalls and cascades follow one another. Take time to picnic on the terraces along the stairs that lead to the highest waterfall (20 m).
The Belvedere trail will take you across the river under a covered bridge and then up to the summit to a magnificent viewpoint. The majestic white pines accompany you on your hike.
The Dam Trail and the Trapper’s Trail combine well for a hike without too much elevation change. Take advantage of this hike to listen to the gentle sounds of the forest around you.
