The open air, a stroll outdoors, and a panoramic view-what a way to whet your appetite! Parc de la Chute-Montmorency is a dream location for a family picnic. Tables are available for visitors at several site locations. A big tent near the Manoir is also open to the public. It's perfect in the event of bad weather.

Three playgrounds are available for young children.

Trails 0.5 to 3 km long criss-cross the park. Go for a stroll to see the falls and the site's curiosities from many angles. Exceptional panoramas are yours to discover! For a good physical workout, try the panoramic staircase with its 487 steps from the bottom to the top of the park. It snakes its way up the side of the cliff, enabling you to see and hear the powerful falls.

Two bike paths cut through the park: one above the falls and the other below. The one below runs by the river along Route 138. It links Domaine Maizeret to Côte-de-Beaupré while going by Montmorency Falls. Above the falls, the other path follows Avenue Royale through Beauport. It leads to Boischatel and the Côte-de-Beaupré plateau. Combine the two paths by using the cable car! This offer is valid if room on the cable car permits.
