About Chute aux Mûres
Chute aux Mûres is a small scenic waterfall in the Laurentides region of Quebec. It sits in a forested, riverine setting near Mont‑Laurier and is visited locally for its cascades and natural surroundings. Exact published details on infrastructure and official management are limited; the site is best described as a natural roadside/short‑hike waterfall that may be accessed by local roads and trails.
The Setting
Chute aux Mûres sits at 374 metres within Mont-Tremblant National Park, in the foothills of Quebec.
Why This Waterfall Exists
Chute aux Mûres flows over hard intrusive rock laid down over 1.0-1.2 billion years ago. These resistant rocks form a durable ledge that water cannot easily wear away, creating the falls where softer material downstream has already eroded.
Nearby Falls Worth Visiting
Chute du Diable (15 m) lies 10.5 kilometres to the east.
Trail & Hike Details
Trail Description
Publicly available, authoritative trail descriptions for Chute aux Mûres are limited. Reports suggest the waterfall is reached by a short walk from a nearby road or small parking area, possibly over uneven, rocky, and rooty terrain. Trails (if present) may be unmarked and can include wet or slippery rock surfaces close to the water. Treat the route as unmaintained unless confirmed otherwise.
What to Expect
Expect a natural, wooded setting with a rocky stream channel and a series of cascades or a single chute. Water levels will vary by season, high in spring runoff, lower in late summer and fall. Facilities are likely minimal or non‑existent (no restrooms, picnic tables, or guardrails). Cell service may be intermittent in rural Laurentides locations. Insects (blackflies, mosquitoes) can be numerous in late spring and summer.
Accessibility
The trail is not wheelchair accessible. Uneven terrain and elevation changes require steady footing.
