Along the trail, you'll pass by two lookout points that offer sweeping views of the Ottawa Valley and rich clay plains.

The falls are best visited during May when the cascading water is at its strongest, but during autumn the forest transforms into a red and orange paradise.

At the north end of the trail, you can discover a historic fire tower that was used to monitor forest fires. Entering the tower is not permitted.

There is no admission cost to explore the area, and parking is available on site.
