The spectacular Dorwin Falls, certainly the best-known falls, are regularly included among the most beautiful waterfalls in Quebec. But there are at least five other falls across Rawdon\u2019s landscape. Four of these falls are on the Ouareau River and the other two are on the Rouge River. These articles, which group the falls by river, will have you discover them from a unique historical standpoint.<\/p><p><strong><em>The Falls on the Ouareau River in Rawdon<\/em><\/strong><\/p><p>Originally identified as the Lacouareau River, the Ouareau River is the main tributary of the L\u2019Assomption River and is fed by two large lakes, Ouareau Lake and Archambault Lake. As early as 1821, a plan drawn by the surveyor Joseph Bouchette Junior (Plan of the Townships of Rawdon &amp; Kildare, on a scale of 1 in. = 40 chains) identified four waterfalls on this river within the territory of Rawdon. They were not named at the time, only numbered. Over the years, the falls were given names. When going up the Ouareau River, one can see the following falls:<\/p><ul><li>the first fall, or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.histoirederawdon.ca\/en\/la-premiere-chute-ou-chute-manchester\/\">Manchester Fall;<\/a><\/li><li>the second fall, or Dorwin Falls;<\/li><li>the third fall, or Magnan Falls; and<\/li><li>the fourth fall, or Cascades Falls.<\/li><\/ul><div>You will soon be able to click on the links identifying these falls to find out more about them.<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-fb9786e elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"fb9786e\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-f125eb2\" data-id=\"f125eb2\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-16fd5c0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"16fd5c0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong><em>The Falls on the Rouge River in Rawdon<\/em><\/strong><\/p><p>A tributary of the Ouareau River, the Rouge River runs over 56.5 kilometres with a difference in elevation of 253 metres.
