Description
Saint Anne Falls, locally known as Chute Saint-Anne, cascades down a rocky cliff surrounded by the forested walls of the canyon.
Some seven kilometers north of Ste-Anne de Beaupré, the Sainte-Anne River has carved a romantically wild gorge through the foothills of the Laurentians on its way down to the St. Lawrence Estuary. Sainte-Anne Falls, locally known as Chute Sainte-Anne, is just one of the reasons the canyon is popular with tourists.
Known as the "Grand Canyon of Québec," Canyon Sainte-Anne offers plenty of things to do. Visitors can admire the falls from the numerous hiking trails (all of which are dog-friendly), and those who are not afraid of heights can get a better look from the three suspension bridges that span the gap.
True thrill-seekers can experience the rush of a zipline across the gorge, or rappel down the sides of the canyon. There is also a two-person seated zipline that crosses the canyon, allowing you to share the experience with a friend or loved one.
