Charlevoix Maritime Museum
The museum presents various types of exhibition: permanent, virtual, temporary and multimedia. This museum was set up in 1973, that is to say following the closure of the company "Les Chantiers maritimes de Charlevoix", a company dedicated to the wintering and maintenance of schooners since 1946. The Development of the site began in 1985 with the mission of making it an interpretive center focused on wooden schooners and the maritime heritage of Charlevoix. The remains of three schooners on this site are used for education. In 2008, the Museum received as a donation a forest of 40 hectares; since 2016, a magnificent 4 km trail crosses this forest. In 1998, the Musée maritime de Charlevoix site received historic site status from the Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada.
Located in a fault shaped by the impact of the astrobleme meteorite that occurred nearly 400 million years ago, the Cimon waterfall on the Boudreault river is an interesting site for the practice of canyoning in a waterfall of about thirty meters, located near the village of Saint-Joseph-de-la-Rive. Going down, the course of the river becomes a ravine, then turns into a canyon. The stream has five inclined waterfalls with a height varying between 15 and 40 m. Canyoning is practised on a vertical wall. The first part of this excursion is aimed at experienced people; the second part of the canyon is accessible to beginners.
