Awesome spot to watch the sun setting. Especially after a walk through Stanley Park across the street. Then pop in to the Tavern on the Falls for a perfect end to a relaxing evening.

Whenever I walk or bike past this area I aim to stop and enjoy these tranquil falls, while also observing the gorgeous river view. This spot is particularly beautiful in the fall.

Nice quiet place to have a great time pass. It's kids friendly and there’s a beautiful park near the falls. Also has a tavern but temporarily closed for the pandemic.

Beautiful day to visit falls. Easy free parking may be because early Sunday morning. The restaurant was not open at that time (open @ 11 I think) but beautiful views from the side of the restaurant. Take a small walk and see the next one.

We truly loved this place. There’s a beautiful park to walk and enjoy some nature in the middle of the city. The falls are nice, and it’s great to spend the afternoon here to see the sunset.

Beautiful scene in the middle of Quebec/Ontario. A good quick visit in a tight schedule. You just need to park your car nearby and walked over…need about 20 mins. First time seeing chunks of ice fall off the fall, so cool!
