Lower Falls at low water

Look out tower

With my bad leg I could not climb the many stairs so took this picture from below.

My transportation

Since with my bad leg I could not walk down the trails and its 350 steps I was priveledged to ride with a driver down a very scary road to see the falls in this quaint vehicle.We went on all the roads in the park mostly very rough and dangerous. Not for visitors with their cars.

Another small Falls

SITE MAP

This is a huge nature park. The many walking trails are shown. There are also some roads ( very steep and rough) that are used by a service truck to transport people from the bottom of the trail to the top. I had 3 trips in this vehicle since with my bad leg I was handicapped and could not walk the steep trails and the 350 steps. The driver was very kind and let me sit up front in the cab with him for the rides UP and DOWN. Most people just get a ride UP. He took me to different sites as you can see by my photos. What a thrilling ride it was. WOW!!

UPPER FALLS

Parc des Chutes de Ste-Ursule Quebec

NO RAIN, VERY LOW WATER LEVEL, See the results in the following picture. STE-URSULE is a smll town north of highway 40 between Trois Rivieres and Berthierville.( 40 rruns between Montreal and Quebec City.) It was a 100 mile round trip for us from Joliette. It was well worth the ride.
