Patrimoine et Chutes de Plaisance — Attraction in Plaisance

Beautiful falls a short drive from Gatineau-Ottawa.

It is pretty rustic, and you basically walk 1 kilometer down a gravel road and trails, and then back up. Go directly to lookout #4 as it offers the best view by far.

Note that this is not free and is operated by a not for profit organization, though it is slated to become part of the Parc Nationale de Plaisance at some point.

Definitely worth visiting if you’re...

Best place and must visit beyond words. such great waterfall. parking is free but you have to pay $8/person (debt/credit/cash)to access waterfall. the shop to pay had soveiners and maps of trails if one intrested. trail is bit rough(for elderly) but nice broadwalk for the waterfall views. if you follow along the water the sounds demishes further and the water is calm where many ppl were fishing and further ahead ppl were kayaking and canoeing. trail is good with some good views of falls. must visit. 15min drive (20km) from fairmount/museum/information center. but if ur visiting any of this places don't miss out this...
