The 30-hectare Parc des Rapides offers visitors a peaceful oasis. Attractions include the Lachine Rapids, a popular draw with surfers and anglers, and the park’s  great blue heron population.

Description

Register to take part in a full slate of seasonal activities, including walking, water sports, cross-country skiing or cycling.

Along the way, you’ll enjoy a view of the river and the Lachine Rapids and discover more than 225 bird species, including the largest heron colony in Québec.

In addition to attracting birdwatchers, photographers and anglers, the site offers historical and nature interpretation activities.
