Belvédère des Chutes de Shawinigan

Extremely amazing trail to hike, even though there was still snow on the ground, it was gorgeous, all the trees were amazing, and the spot with the falls was very peaceful. I am very grateful for places like this where we can appreciate all of God's creations! So wonderful!

It was amazing place to picnic, swimming or have fun rock climbing but somehow prohibited. Hopefully soon they can be opened!

We went on May 11, 2022 with our 4 month old granddaughter. You have to take a small path with roots to get to the lookout (not easy with the stroller but doable). At the belvedere, the view is superb, the falls are grandiose. The shovels at the dams are only open sporadically in the spring and that's when the falls are glorious.

Superb spot to see the Shawinigan Falls in all its splendor and strength when the shovels of the dams are open... Incredible view of the falls with the city of energy in the background. They can be observed throughout the summer, but the best time to contemplate them, at their peak, is from the end of April until the 3rd week of May (it also happens that it lasts longer)

Plan to stay longer than you plan on! Scenic and Powerful. Easy access to the beauty of the rugged terrain and engineering marvels of power generation.
