Parc-nature de l’Île-de-la-Visitation is the most urban of the city’s nature parks. This linear park runs along the Rivière des Prairies and includes an island called Île de la Visitation.

Description

Parc-nature de l’Île-de-la-Visitation combines nature and history, and is packed with activities for everyone. Visit the ruins of old mills and the historic Maison du Pressoir, and admire the Rivière des Prairies from the lookouts. Take to the trails on foot or by bike and observe hundreds of species of birds. In winter, strap on your cross-country skis and ski along the water’s edge, follow a course or glide downhill on your snow mats. 

An all-terrain wheelchair can assist you on trails with uneven slopes. Borrow a cross-country sit ski to go on low altitude trails in winter. Reservations are free of charge and must be made at least 24 hours in advance at 514-280-6778.
