A roadside waterfall and short loop trail on Route 117 at Montcerf-Lytton, Québec, at the gateway to La Vérendrye, with log-drive history panels. Access was closed in 2025 for stair repairs.
Quinn Creek Falls (Chute du ruisseau Quinn) is a rest stop on Route 117 at the entrance to the Réserve faunique La Vérendrye. It's roughly halfway between Montréal and Val-d'Or, and several reviewers treat it as a welcome break on that long drive.
A short loop trail with stairs leads to the falls from several angles. Panels along the way tell the story of the log drivers who once worked these waters, and the old Basko boat is on display. One visitor compared the falls, lit up at night, to a little Niagara.
Reviewers enjoy the walk and the chance to explore around the falls. A trail also links the site to the municipal boat launch on the Baskatong Reservoir, a well-known walleye and northern pike fishery where Québec's sport-fishing rules apply.
Check before you go: the municipality closed access in June 2025 so the stairs could be repaired. Bring bug spray, which several visitors stress. One recent reviewer also found the site map confusing and noted that the trail crosses the busy highway, so take care.
