A song by the singer Claire Pelletier, Kabir Kouba, evoques the many Huron legends that honour the river and the waterfall.

[4] Immense erratic blocks in the park were deposited on the site thousands of years ago by an enormous glacier that covered North America during the last ice age, called the Wisconsin glaciation.

[6] Consequently, the water eroded the calcareous rocks until it attained the resistant gneiss which resulted in the Waterfall and 42m high canyon.

[7] The Park of the Kabir Kouba Cliff and Waterfall has many fossils, the majority of which are marine organisms from the Ordovician period, date approximately 455 million years.

The trilobite Crypotlithus tessalatus lorettensis was discovered for the first time next to the Kabir Kouba waterfalls by the paleontologist August F. Foerste in 1924.
