Parc des Chutes Coulonge

What Parc des Chutes Coulonge does

Parc des Chutes Coulonge is a non-profit nature and historical adventure park located in Mansfield-et-Pontefract, Quebec, Canada, operated by the Fondation des Chutes Coulonge under a 25-year land lease (terminating 2044) with MRC Pontiac at $1 per year. Established as a public park in 1985 on a site historically used for 19th-century log driving, the park is anchored by the 42-meter Coulonge Falls and offers approximately 4.3 km of hiking trails, a museum with log-driving interpretive content, and a kids' park with a splash pad and hebertism course.

The park's commercial product mix includes paid aerial adventure activities — treetop obstacle course at $44.95, canyon ziplines at $49.95, via ferrata at $94.95–$114.95, and an Extreme Package bundling all three at $134.95 — alongside general admission at $10–$12, summer season passes ($40 individual, $150 family), forest yurt glamping at $190/night with a 15% aerial activity discount, on-site retail, and seasonal programming including a March Break children's camp and a wellness retreat. The underlying technology is non-software: physical infrastructure comprising aerial courses, ziplines, via ferrata systems, museum installations, and trail networks.

The business operates a direct-to-consumer go-to-market with sales through an Endorphine-powered online booking platform, on-site walk-up ticketing, and email/phone group bookings. It serves families, individual tourists, school groups, and corporate team-building clients primarily from Quebec, with bilingual French/English service. Operations are managed by a Director General, Operations Manager, two part-time seasonal staff, and one summer student, overseen by an eight-member volunteer board representing organizations within MRC Pontiac. Revenue is not publicly disclosed.
