At 83 metres tall, the waterfall dominates the landscape: on your visit, you’ll get to see it up close in different ways and feel all of its strength.

The trails at the bottom of the falls offer impeccable views. A new walkway has been widened, providing ample space for picnicking and admiring the waterfall. The east side walkway has also been redesigned and expanded with the addition of a mineral garden along the sidewalk, benches and a picnic area. On the west side, the pathway, now made of wood, guides visitors to a new viewpoint, closer to the waterfall than ever before.
