Montmorency Falls

Montmorency Falls is a major waterfall on the Montmorency River in Quebec, where the river plunges over a cliff into the Saint Lawrence River near Quebec City, opposite Île d'Orléans. Protected within Montmorency Falls Park, the falls are 83 meters high, about 30 meters taller than Niagara Falls, and are known in summer for a yellow tint caused by iron in the riverbed. Long embedded in the region’s cultural life, the site has appeared in poetry, film, and television. It remains a leading attraction and event setting, with close-viewing access, an international fireworks competition, and continued investment as a landmark destination.
