About Chute de Berry
Chute de Berry is a small to medium-sized waterfall in southern Quebec near the U.S. border (coordinates 45.1792, -72.5998). It sits in a generally rural, forested landscape and is frequently visited for short hikes and photography. Flow and appearance are seasonal, typically highest in spring runoff and lower in late summer. Exact official measurements and on-site facilities appear limited or not widely published; some details below are conservative where first-hand sources are not readily available.
Why This Waterfall Exists
Chute de Berry flows over volcanic rock laid down about 539 million to 1.0 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.
Trail & Hike Details
Trail Description
Publicly available, detailed trail descriptions are limited. Visitors commonly report a short walk from a nearby parking area or road to reach a viewpoint; surfaces are typically natural (dirt, roots, rocks) and may include uneven footing, muddy sections in wet seasons, and exposed ledges. Trails to the waterline or base may require scrambling and should be attempted with caution. Because authoritative trail distance/elevation data is not confirmed, treat the approach as potentially unmarked and variable.
What to Expect
A natural, wooded setting with a waterfall that is most impressive during spring melt. Expect limited services (no maintained restrooms or visitor center). Cell reception may be patchy. Rocks and banks near the falls can be slippery and unstable. Water levels and flow vary by season; summer may produce lower flow while winter can create ice formations but also hazardous walking conditions.
Accessibility
The trail is not wheelchair accessible. Uneven terrain and elevation changes require steady footing.

Spring (late March–May) for highest flows and dramatic water; fall for foliage color; summer for warmer weather though flows may be lower; winter offers ice formations but can be hazardous and may require snow/ice gear. For photography and viewing safely, late spring or early fall typically balance good flow and safer trail conditions.

Safety Information
• Rocks and banks around waterfalls are slippery; keep a safe distance from edges. • Currents can be deceptively strong, do not enter fast-moving water. • In winter, ice near falls is unstable and dangerous; avoid walking on frozen water. • Trails may be muddy, steep or involve scrambling; bring appropriate footwear and allow extra time. • Respect private property boundaries and posted signs. If access appears to cross private land, seek permission from the landowner or use an alternative public viewpoint. • Cell reception may be unreliable; tell someone your plans and expected return time.

• Wear sturdy, grippy footwear, rock and root hazards are common. • Treat access as potentially crossing private or unmarked land; obey signs and stay on designated paths where present. • Check local weather and recent visitor reports before visiting; spring runoff increases current and slip risk. • Bring insect repellent (ticks and mosquitoes can be active summer–early fall). • Pack out all waste and respect the natural environment. • If unsure about access or parking, contact local municipality or Quebec tourist information for guidance.
