About Chutes à Corrine
Chutes à Corrine is a small waterfall feature in the Chaudière-Appalaches region of Quebec, near the towns of Saint-Georges (approx. 24.4 miles), Québec City (approx. 33.0 miles), and Victoriaville (approx. 55.7 miles). Coordinates: 46.3567, -70.982. The site appears to be a cascade or small multi-step fall on a local stream and is set in a mixed hardwood-conifer forest typical of southern Quebec. Precise formal descriptions (official park classification, measured height) are not readily available in major trail databases; physical characteristics and access may vary with season and recent precipitation.
Why This Waterfall Exists
Chutes à Corrine flows over layered sedimentary rock laid down about 444-539 million years ago. Over time, the stream has worn through these layers at different rates, creating the step that forms the waterfall.
Trail & Hike Details
Trail Description
There is no widely published maintained trail description for Chutes à Corrine in major trail databases. Approaches reported by users to similar small, rural Quebec waterfalls typically involve a short walk from a roadside parking area over uneven, possibly unmarked footpaths. Trails (if present) may be narrow, muddy when wet, and include short rocky sections; expect minimal infrastructure (no boardwalks or railings) and limited signage.
What to Expect
Expect a modest cascade rather than a large vertical drop. Surroundings are likely forested with rocky banks and variable stream flow, highest in spring or after heavy rain, lower in late summer. There may be limited to no facilities (no toilets, picnic tables, or maintained viewpoints). Cell coverage could be intermittent depending on carrier and exact location.
Accessibility
Accessibility is likely limited. There is no published information indicating wheelchair-accessible trails or facilities. Approaches may be along uneven natural terrain with rocks and roots.

When to Visit
Spring (snowmelt and rainy season) typically yields the highest flows and most dramatic appearance. Early fall offers good foliage color for photos. Summer can be pleasant but flows may be lower. Winter may produce ice formations that are attractive but can be hazardous (slick surfaces, unstable ice); only visit in winter with appropriate cold-weather and ice safety preparation.
Seasonal Access
The best time to visit is Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter. Check with the managing park or local authority for current conditions.
Safety Information
• Rocks and logs near waterfalls are extremely slippery, stay on stable ground and do not climb on wet rocks. • Water flow can increase rapidly after rain; avoid getting too close to the water during or after storms. • Winter ice can be unstable; avoid walking on ice near falls unless it is known to be safe. • Cell service may be limited; tell someone your plans and expected return time. • If property boundaries are unclear, err on the side of caution and avoid crossing into private land. • Carry a basic first-aid kit and know how to reach local emergency services.
