The 17.4 km national trail begins on the east bank of the Batiscan River (intersection of route 367 and Rang du Soleil), downstream from the “Neuf” falls (formerly referred to as similar to the falls of the “Five Canadian Dollars”), in Notre-Dame-de-Montauban. The path follows the river for more than a kilometer, in order to enter the boreal forest in order to move towards Mont Otis (summit culminating at 325 m.). Formerly designated “Mont Saint-Amand”, this toponym was replaced in 1979 by “Mont Otis” (also nicknamed “Cap à Ti-Fred”), as part of the town's centenary celebrations; this new toponymic designation evokes the memory of the first pioneer to settle. At the top, the 180 degree panorama is splendid. The path stretches to the regional natural park of Portneuf; its route passes near Lac des Pins and crosses Chemin du Lac-du-Castor. A shorter option of the trail is a 3.4 km loop, starting from the Cohabitat Mont Otis campsite. Finally, a linear segment of one km in the Parc des Chutes de Montauban allows access to the fall of Neuf, which shows a drop of about ten meters on the Batiscan river.

Chutes-de-Montauban Park
Park established in 1979 as part of the centenary celebrations of the municipality of Notre-Dame-de-Montauban. This park runs along the west bank of the Batiscan River for about a kilometer. Visitors can admire several falls and waterfalls (elevation). The municipality has built a raised walkway leading visitors to a belvedere in order to observe more closely the Falls of the Nine (also called "fall of the five dollars" inadvertently because of the resemblance of the image affixed on a five-dollar bill issued in 1954). It is designated "fall of the Nine" because it is the ninth portage going up the Batiscan river. The Chutes-de-Montauban Park hiking trail is integrated into the Montauban trail, a 17-km section of the Trans Canada Trail, which crosses the country.
