“along the st. lawrence river!”

Terrasse Dufferin is a terrace that wraps around the Château Frontenac in Quebec City towards Citadelle of Quebec, overlooking the St. Lawrence River. It was built in 1879 under the direction of Lord Dufferin, the then Governor-general of Canada and eventually named for him. The terrace is maintained by Parks Canada as part of the Saint-Louis Forts and Châteaux National Historic Site. The terrace consists of a wood plank walkway with gazebos and benches from Château Frontenac (and previous by Château Haldimand) to Citadelle of Quebec (access via a set of stairs). On the west end of the terrace is a 150 metres (490 ft) ramp or Terrasse Dufferin Slides (c. 1898) used annually as a toboggan run during Quebec Winter Carnival or the Carnaval de Québec from late January to mid-February.
