A beautiful waterfall situated right at the centre of the city. There is a trail with multiple view points. The view points along the trail did have views obstructed by trees. One could get a closer view of the falls from the park that is on the lower ground. This park is a great spot to spend some time in nature and tranquility.
I first had the pleasure of visiting this location in April of 2016. It was an awe-inspiring and majestic sight. I returned on the 25th of July and have attached some photographs from both visits for your comparison. While I thoroughly enjoyed both experiences, I must admit that my initial visit eight years ago holds a special place in my heart.
Only got to stop quick to stretch our legs on our drive home to NB from ONT but would definitely do the drive to return here to explore the whole park. Oh and the rope course, is thst supposed to be for the kids or? Not sure who had more fun on that lol. Amazing place !

This was a nice stop to look at some falls that crash down very close to you. Slightly smaller than Grand Falls, NB and Chutes Montmorency but definitely nice for pictures. This was a path through and glad I did. Kids and family were available for lots of pictures on a sunny day.

Over ten kilometres of woodland trails along the river and through a heritage orchard, all just steps from downtown. There's a 33-metre waterfall and old power generating station, still in operation, a visit is definitely a must. There's a parking lot close by, and you can get across the river using a bridge.
