This park is located on the edge of the Ouareau River, on the south side of the village of Rawdon, at 3102, 1e avenue.
The Cascades Park includes in particular: The municipal beach of Rawdon is accessible by road route 337.
Formerly, according to this legend, an old Indian sorcerer lived in the hunting grounds of the Algonquins, on the current territory of Rawdon.
Disconcerted by Nipissingue's request for union, Hiawhitha instead decided to devote the rest of his life to Arondack.
On learning of Hiawhitha's withdrawal, Nipissingue launched the Algonquins on the warpath in order to get rid of this enemy.
On touching the stream of water, Hiawhitha's body unleashed a loud clap of thunder causing the precipice to vibrate.
On May 16, 1967, there was an official cession of these lands to the Ministry of Tourism which transformed the site into a recreational park.
