Montmorency Falls Park, QC Live Cam

Montmorency Falls drops 83 metres into the St Lawrence just east of Quebec City, higher than Niagara though a great deal narrower. The webcam looks at the fall, the suspension bridge and the boardwalk beneath it.

In hard winters the spray freezes into a cone at the foot of the drop, known as the sugar loaf, which once reached thirty metres and was climbed for sport. It still builds most years, smaller than it was.

The British landed here in the summer of 1759 and were beaten back at the foot of these cliffs a few weeks before Quebec fell. A cable car now runs up the side and a bridge crosses directly over the lip.
