It's Nice and calm place in the busy Montreal City. Here you can see and do some adventure sport like river rafting on tremendous rapids on saint Lawrence river. Park it self is good for family picnic and get to gether. You can also enjoy bicycle ride with your kids and your friends. If you want to do some fishing then also you can do here. In short it's a full family enjoyment and weekend place. So visit and feel relaxed on your busy life.

The rushing water swirling around this island Park is hypnotic. No bicycles allowed in the park, but it's easy to walk the full length and the views are amazing. Easy to get free parking in the entrance or nearby on the street. This place is special, worth the trip and the walk. Electric wheelchairs and similar modes of transportation are permitted.

A hidden gem right in the city! The trails are beautiful to walk and watching the rapids speed by is both calming and invigorating. We go there everytime we visit the city in the summer.
