Activities
The Friends of Chats Falls organizes recreational and interpretive activities throughout the year, in order to help residents, cottagers, history and outdoor recreation lovers better know this section of the river, its exceptional biodiversity and rich heritage. Every fall, members are also invited to an annual forum. We are working with a number of partners and land-owners to develop a walking trail network, a canoe-kayak circuit, related infrastructure as well as recreational and interpretive programming.
