OBS

Chute en forme de chaudières, la moitié se situant au Québec et l'autre moitié, en Ontario. La rivière des Outaouais qui y coule marque sur presque tout le long de son cours, la frontière entre les deux provinces.

OBS

Le Comité [consultatif qui a été créé par la Commission de la Capitale nationale] a choisi le pluriel car il y a trois chaudières. Ainsi, il est possible de faire la distinction avec la rivière Chaudière à Québec.
