This wild collection of waterfalls and cascades east of Quebec City, in Quebec Provence, Canada, is quite an unusual attraction.<\/strong> High suspension bridges and overhanging decks allow for some thrilling views of the torrents below.\u00a0 Our visit to Sainte-Anne occurred in early October, just when the fall colors were at their prime adding more brilliance to this already dazzling place.<\/p>

Officially called Canyon Ste-Anne, this privately-owned park opened to the public in 1973.\u00a0 The Sainte-Anne River falls, as they were originally called when discovered in 1965 by a logger that was camping nearby, is situated on the the Sainte-Anne-du-Nord River.\u00a0 The owners built three suspension bridges over the cascades so that visitors can walk over the falls and marvel at the shear force underneath their feet.\u00a0 One of the bridges is the highest suspension bridge in Quebec province.<\/p> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n

Getting There<\/h3>

The Sainte-Anne Waterfall park is an easy 30 minute or 25 mile-long drive from Quebec City.\u00a0 From the center of the city, find your way onto the 440 Freeway which starts just north of the old city.<\/p>

Continue on the 440 past the famous Montmorency Falls. Just past the falls, the 440 Freeway ends and turns into Providential Route 138. Stay on 138 past the large Sainte-Anne Cathedral. After climbing a steep hill at about 24 miles from Quebec City, the turnoff to Sainte-Anne will be found on the left.<\/p>
