The North side is just as bad, but we could see Perce Rock when we got really close.
After going around both sides of perce Rock we proceeded out to Bonaventure Island. Both Perce Rock and Bonaventure Island are in are large Protected Area.
The bird population of one species is the largest known in the world.

After a short rest, we had free time so we went to the Emerald River Park & Waterfall.

Viewing the Falls is a climb up about 60 steps. Then follow a dirt trail about 1 mile. Now you can see the Falls.
For a better view there is a 140 step flight of steps down to the base of the Falls.
