Fraser Falls
Chutes Fraser
A forest waterfall just a few minutes' drive from La Malbaie, with a campsite and short trails, ideal for a relaxed half-hour walk.
The Fraser Falls are on Fraser Creek, north of La Malbaie city centre. The falls drop about 30 metres in several cascades between rock walls, surrounded by mixed coniferous and deciduous forest. The site is a private campground. For a small entry fee, you can follow the trail down to the foot of the falls and to a viewing platform. The round trip takes about 30 minutes. The falls are most dramatic during spring snowmelt, and the autumn foliage around them is also lovely. They are about 4 km from the city centre and make a good addition to a day tour of the town.
