(Translated) Beautiful place to enjoy nature in good company ???? (Original) Belle place pour profiter de la nature en bonne compagnie ????
Cold but fun
Great place to come and enjoy the views, also nice for biking!
I love running in the park. Great for family walk in any season.
Nlce place since the other beach was packed. So we went to this beach. It was nice then it started to fill up and people didn't respect the social distancing. So we had to leave since we had 2 small children with us. What a bummer.
Nice, but paying for parking in winter feels unnecessary.
The worst park I've ever been near Montreal. Trails in deap mud, park lacks care, but... you'll have to pay for parking.
Beautiful Nature Park and marsh!
Good dessert spot Try out the lotus or that Nutella You can't go wrong
(Translated) Possibility of snowshoeing and cross-country skiing. The ski slopes are not mechanically worked, however. (Original) Possibilité de faire de la raquette et du ski de fond. Les pistes de ski ne sont pas travaillées mécaniquement, par contre.
Paid parking is open but the hike is almost completely closed, so we paid $9.5 for nothing.
(Translated) It's pretty but a bit small for my taste. I would have liked more walks by the water because there is almost nothing. (Original) C'est joli mais un peu petit à mon goût. J'aurais aimé plus de balades au bord de l'eau car il n'y a presque rien.
Great trails for biking ,hiking etc love it here
Nice park. Big beautiful trees. Feels like the Jungle but without the wild animals. Highly recommended.
Very nice for adventures people also has a golf course nearby
Beautiful park
Great park, easy access. But you need to pay for parking.
I simply love this park!
Nice quiet !!
Excellent place to bike, cross country ski, watch birds, turtles, or just take a walk with your dog. If you want quietness, this is the place. The parking is paid, around $7 for 2 hours or $9 for the day. But there are other entrances, you may find your way around and park for free. Cross country skis are available for rent in the main entrance.
(Translated) Very kind (Original) Très sympathique
(Translated) Very nice place to observe wildlife, beautiful trails, lakes and riversides. (Original) Très bel endroit pour observer la faune, belles pistes, lacs et bords de la rivière.
Very large park with forest, great for long walks or bike trips. Features a larger lake in the middle, where, if lucky, you may spot beavers. Also, White-tailed deers may cross the gravel paths within the park. Unfortunately, impossible to get here by public transportation.
(Translated) Well maintained (Original) Bien entretenu
(Translated) Beautiful park and free in addition (Original) Très beau parc et gratuit en plus
It's nice for easy trekking and walk...they have 7 km long trek. The island is nice.
No playground for kids
Very beautiful Forest..the fall colors are really enchanting.
Very pleasant and relaxing environment. The parking is not available.
It was okay - a bit rocky and not as popular but it was kinda nice not being being too busy. Lifeguards didn't really enforce the 6ft rule but otherwise good
Fun
Beautiful parc, too bad it is not maintained properly.
It is a beautiful and serene area, not overpopulated. Great to breath the fresh air cleansed by the trees, restful and peaceful. Fantastic place for birdwatchers to take stunning photographs. To take a bike ride or a simple walk feels …
Relaxing park.
(Translated) Apart from the beach (certainly very nice) there are not so many trails north of the river which is a shame ... The park is a scattered area and the most interesting trail is closed. Great potential, however. We'll try again. (Original) A part la plage (certes très sympa) il n’y a pas tant de sentiers en Nord de rivière ce qui est dommage... Le parc est un éparpillé et le sentier le plus intéressant est fermé. Beau potentiel pourtant. On réessaiera.
(Translated) Park for walking and cycling. Several routes for walks in the forest, some species of animals and birds are encountered. There is a toilet (toilet type) on the territory of the park. There are direction and distance indicators along the entire route. (Original) Парк для пеших и велосипедных прогулок. Несколько маршрутов для прогулок среди леса, встречаются некоторые виды животных и птиц. На территории парка имеется туалет (типа сортир). По всему маршруту имеются указатели направления и дистанции.
Great place to relax, almost forgot I was in Montreal...
(Translated) Very beautiful trails (Original) Très beaux sentiers
Better prepare for mosquitos on hot/ humid days
I wish I discovered this place earlier ???? Beautiful, but beware of the poisonous plants. Lots of them are there.
(Translated) No more footbridge, poorly maintained but still charge $ 9 for parking ... Lamentable! (Original) Plus de passerelle, mal entretenu mais il chargent quand même 9$pour le stationnement... Lamentable !
Good
Relaxing green oasis in the city. Beautiful park go biking or walking lots of wildlife to see.
I love the place. But this year maybe because of the flood the bridge was missing and the experiance was not complete. But stll very beautiful place.
A great place to slow down and enjoy nature
Really nice place to walk and you can go with your dog
Beautiful place for fall colors
(Translated) Superb park, very well laid out. Ideal for walking, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing (Original) Superbe parc, très bien aménagé. Idéal pour marche, ski de fond, raquette
Really nice park, but the paths should be widened
(Translated) Pitiful state of the park, banners "caution" everywhere because of floods and beach closed for unknown reason. No toilets in the uncleared picnic area with lots of dead branches. Old pitoresque park now left to himself. I should have spent my $ 9 parking elsewhere. (Original) État pitoyable du parc, banderolles "caution" partout à cause des inondations et plage fermée pour raison inconnue. Absence de toilettes dans la zone de picnic non défrichée avec plein de branches mortes. Ancien parc pitoresque maintenant laissé à lui-même. J'aurais du aller dépenser mon 9$ de parking ailleurs.
(Translated) Very pretty! (Original) Très jolie!
Its ok
The most beautiful park in the west island
Really nice for bird watching. Great for walks.
Nice
Good place to launch your boat or kayak, free! Close to a nice fishing spot too.
(Translated) The site is enchanting but the beach is tiny and at the "deepest" we have water in the thighs ... (Original) Le site est enchanteur mais la plage est minuscule et au "plus creux" on a de l'eau aux cuisses...
(Translated) Very nature as a place. A beautiful mix of forest and beach. Quiet and fewer visitors than elsewhere and very respectful of others. Think about the $ 9 parking / day! (Original) Très nature comme endroit. Un beau mélange de forêt et de plage. Tranquille et les visiteurs sont moins nombreux qu'ailleurs et très respectueux des autres. Pensez au 9$ de stationnement / jour!
Fabulous place to enjoy nature without having to drive hours to get to!
Beautiful place
Take a walk with the kids
(Translated) It is a very beautiful Nature Park I would even say that it is the place where you really feel in Nature I highly recommend it???? (Original) C'est un très beau Parc Nature je dirais même que c'est l'endroit ou on se sens vraiment en Nature je le conseille vivement????
One of my favourite parks of all time. Many winding trials throughtout this expansive park. Lots of trees and wildlife. The main attraction in my opinion has to be the swamp area where there is an amazing boardwalk to walk/bike on. Unfortunately, construction had removed the boardwalk as it was aging and has yet to be replaced.
(Translated) It's really the fun this place !!!! (Original) C'est vraiment Le Fun Cette Place !!!!
I wish the city would get their **** together and just pay a regular contractor to remake the passerelle. This has been a huge money pit and it's been years now since this project was supposed to start. This is a textbook example of terrible governing and bureaucracy!
Zen
Extensive network of trails, plenty of parking near the sports complex. In summer you sometimes can get crazy maintain bikers but in general not to many visitors.
(Translated) Parking too expensive for a visit of 1 hour! Real flight! (Original) Stationnement trop cher pour une visite de 1h! Du vrai vol !
(Translated) Poorly landscaped park, poor signage, poorly configured trails and once the parking has been paid, we realize that the path is closed, the footbridge is completely dismantled and the walking circuit comes down to 700m and loops (Original) Parc mal aménagé, signalisation déficiente, sentiers mal configurer et une fois le stationnement payé on se rend compte rendu au sentier qu'il est fermé, la passerelle est complètement démonté et le circuit de marche se résume a 700m et boucles
(Translated) the wooden bridge on the swamp is fine (Original) …
(Translated) Nice quiet spot but the beach leaves something to be desired. Far too rocky then having aquatic shoes is in order and the lake really shallow and the place quite small! (Original) Beau spot tranquille mais la plage laisse à désirer. Beaucoup trop rocailleuses alors avoir des souliers aquatiques est de mise et le lac vraiment peu profond et l’endroit assez petit!
Peaceful
Fun little walk with the wife. Would recommend it to anyone of all ages!
Quite, good for waking meditation, I enjoyed it.
(Translated) Very beautiful park in nature in Montreal. It is worth to be discovered. (Original) Très beau parc dans la nature à Montréal. Il vaut la peine d'être découvert.
(Translated) Sports Senter Arena he bizzare (Original) Sports Senter Arena il bizzare
(Translated) First time in the park, and a majestic sunset is offered to us! ❤ (Original) Première fois dans le parc, et un coucher de soleil majestueux c'est offert à nous ! ❤
Nice
(Translated) Nice place to take a long walk in nature, without having to leave the city. (Original) Bel endroit pour prendre un longue marche en nature, sans avoir à sortir de la ville.
Good place to walk, with a small beach also lots of places for picnic
Very nice view and nice trails to walk
Beautiful place to explore
One of my favorite nature Parks. Great place to go for a bikeride
Too much construction on the site. Trails closed for 'maintenance' (how do you maintain a trail??? only in Montreal... ) the parking at the north end of the island is open but the trail leading out towards the hiking area is closed... ridiculous. Will not return for a while despite growing up in this area.
(Translated) Nice place to walk! We can't wait to see the new catwalk! (Original) Bel endroit pour se promener! Nous avons hâte de voir la nouvelle passerelle!
So freaking cool and calm
(Translated) Good but not recommended (Original) Bien mais non recommandé
A nice place tôt ale a walk, breath in the fresh cool air and enjoy the woods
Nature is great, if you see litter, pick it up. Keep our parts clean. If you throw junk out in a park rather than wainting 10 minutes to find a garbage. Rethink your life.
One of the best hiking places near Montreal
(Translated) Clean, close, parking available, very quiet. (Original) Propre, proche, stationnement disponible, très tranquille.
It's a beautiful Nature park with miles of various walking trails.
Awesome views ! No shops nearby Small island with great colours (Autumn caption)
Very nice park 30 min from Montréal. Note: the long overpass is close for the season.
(Translated) Supervised beach (Original) Plage surveillée
(Translated) One of the sites of the Greater Montreal to put on your favorites map. Really well laid out. (Original) Un des sites du Grand Montréal à mettre sur vôtre carte des favoris. Vraiment bien aménagé.
Very nice park
I love biking here.
Very peaceful and relaxing
(Translated) Very nice park with a gazebo and picnic tables. Beautiful paths to set up near the edge of the river. Dogs are admitted I recommend !! (Original) Très beau parc avec un belvédère et des tables à pique nique beau sentiers aménager près du bord de la rivière. Les chiens son admis je recommande!!
Really nice by the water on the northern side of the island. The walkway has been under re-construction for a couple years now, which makes it difficult to walk decent distance from there though.
it was nice all tho a bit disturbed by the noise of cars depending on where you are
(Translated) The main trail is closed for 3 years (Original) …
Nice park, lots of walking in a shaded forest to be done
(Translated) Very nice place for a couple or family walk. (Original) Tres belle place pour faire une promenade en couple ou en famille.
Wonderful place.
If they finish the work they are doing it is a 5 star nature walk.
Amazing
Just beautiful to behold
(Translated) A beautiful park to visit. (Original) Un très beau parc à visiter.
(Translated) Park very poorly organized, the indications are not too clear or maps, we went round and round several times to find our way, too many closed gateways, the height the beach is not only rotten more closed in early July !!! The worst we had to park in one of the entrances not the main one is paid parking but there is no where to pay - we had to go back to the other entrance to pay. Park very poorly organized it does not deserve all the stars it had, our day was ruined would say an abandoned park. We will never go back again. (Original) Parc très mal organisé, les indications sont pas trop claire ni les cartes, on a du tourné en rond plusieurs fois pour trouver notre chemin, trop de passerelles fermées, le comble la plage est non seulement pourrie de plus fermée en début du mois de juillet !!! Le pire on a du se parquer dans l'une des entrées pas la principale c'est écrit parking payant mais y'a pas où payer ???? il a fallu qu'on retourne à l'autre entrée pour payer. Parc très mal organisé il mérite pas toutes les étoiles qu'il a eu, notre journée était gâché en dirait un parc abandonné. On y retournera plus jamais.
(Translated) It is not very enjoyable to walk under the snow. Parking is 7 dollars for a fee. I don't think so.. (Original) Kar altında gezmek pek zevkli değil otopark ücretli 7 dolar. Bence değmez..
Beautiful park. Lots of different landscapes. Two access points to water, which is nice since the rest of the island's shoreline is privately owned.
Expensive parking 9.5$ for a day, limited water view seats
Very nice and peaceful park. High recommended to take in the peaceful nature that surrounds Montreal.
(Translated) The park is ok but the beach is a piece of sand 50 meters, we can not call it a beach! …
(Translated) Very cool place. One of our favorite regional parks. (Original) Très cool comme endroit. Un de nos parcs régionaux favori.
What used to be a great park with 2 boardwalks which allowed one to observe wildlife has been decimated to a few trails through the woods without access to water since the construction of the new boardwalks is stalled.
Lots of place to picnic, biking, walking. Beach and natural landscapes. Good place also to watch animals take pictures and relax.
Beautiful place to spend with family, watch birds, walk the trails
Neat park yet very muddy if you go the day after a rain or when snow is melting.
Nice place to walk around. Good for all abilities since they're not real hiking trails. You can even bring a baby carriage.
Beautiful
Peaceful walk and great views
Great views
Unfortunately 2 areas of the Park are currently closed because of the flood. There is still access to a good walk in the woods from de l'eglise road. Parking $7.00 for 2 hours. $9.00 for day.
Great hiking, you can protected by the shades of the trees
Relaxing place
Gorgeous!
(Translated) The improvements are stopped, the bridges are inaccessible. And there are several dogs without a leash. Too bad it was a nice place for walking. Does the file advance Mr. Mayor? (Original) Les améliorations ce sont arrêtées, les ponts sont inaccessibles. Et il y a plusieurs chiens sans laisse. Dommage c'était un bel endroit pour la marche. Est-ce que le dossier avance Monsieur le maire ?
Nice place to walk or bike
(Translated) It is a very beautiful place. But unfortunately, for the second consecutive summer, it is still under renovation in the most beautiful part. (Original) C'est un très bel endroit. Mais malheureusement, pour le 2e été consécutif, c'est toujours en rénovation dans la plus belle partie.
Synonymous to Ile-Bizard, the nature parks offer forested pathways to both residents and visitors. The unfortunate part is its popularity which makes it a bustling place where tranquility is becoming more difficult to come across.
I would've given zero stars if I could. When we were back from our 1 hour walk to the parking lot, we saw that somebody shattered the rear window and robbed our car. This is the Monté de l'église entrance. There is no security camera, no guard, no booth, whatsoever. I wonder why they charge the 7-9$ parking fee, when there is no security there. If I wanted my car to be robbed, I would have parked it somewhere else for free... This parking lot is clearly the SPOT for this particular thief and seems to be doing it often, as this entrance is practically in the middle of nowhere and the closest bodyshop said that they have one case like this every week. AVOID going there and if you do go there, empty your car first. The place is not safe at all.
nice place to picnic. lots of table and such. But if you are going for the beach part you will likely be disappointed as it's super tiny and water not appealing (rocks, algae, very cloudy water)
(Translated) Very nice bike ride. (Original) Très belle balade en vélo.
Nice free Beach
(Translated) The park is just a few minutes from the city of Montréal and there you will find a large forest for hiking and cycling, if you like fishing you have a good opportunity to enjoy this pastime. The place has some beaches to smother the summer heat. (Original) El parque se encuentra a pocos minutos de la ciudad de Montréal y allí encontrarás un gran bosque para hacer caminatas y pasear en bicicleta, si te gusta la pesca tienes una buena oportunidad de disfrutar de este pasatiempo. El lugar dispone de algunas playas para sofocar el calor del verano.
Beautiful park
Very beautiful place . Calm good for kids . Life guard.till 5 pm . Clean water.
Superb
(Translated) Just a pity that the big catwalk was being repaired when I went there (Original) Juste dommage que la grande passerelle était en réparation quand j'y suis allée
Main attraction, the boardwalk or Grande Passerelle, doesn't exist anymore, also meaning that the principal circuit or loop end in a cul-de-sac. Deception for the kids. The beach is also closed. Overall, you can walk but don't expect any special «view". People have to write «You are here" themselves on the maps so it's understandable. This Park is not maintain or what it used to be. For around 10$ for parking, kind of a deception in 2020.
(Translated) Nice place to have fun (Original) Belle place pour amuser
(Translated) The color of the sky makes us forget the falling leaves. (Original) La couleur du ciel nous fait oublier la chute des feuilles.
Visited here to snowshoe last Sunday, and never knew we had yet another beautiful park in the west island. Definitely recommend for hiking, snowshoeing etc...
Worth exploring。
(Translated) With the works and inaccessible areas, the park loses its interest. For $ 9 a day, avoid parking at the tip of the quarries except to go to the beach. With the same ticket you have access to other parking. Starting from the area of the rapids, you will find wood paths and under wood rather pleasant but without more interest. We did not find the point of view advertised on the map. Plan for mosquito control in the summer. (Original) Avec les travaux et les zones inaccessibles, le parc perd de son intérêt. Pour 9 $ la journée, évitez le parking de la pointe des carrières sauf pour aller à la plage. Avec le même ticket vous avez accès aux autres stationnements. En partant de la zone des rapides, vous trouverez des chemins de bois et sous bois plutôt plaisants mais sans plus d'intérêt. Nous n'avons pas trouvé le point de vue annoncé sur la carte. Prévoyez l'antimoustique en été.
Boardwalk still not rebuilt. Sad!
Great park on Île Bizard. Really nice place to go on a bike ride or just on a stroll. Big wide gravel paths allow for easy travels.
This park is beautiful. There is a nice long boardwalk on the water that is a must see. Nice for a bike ride too. It also has recently gone through construction so it definitely is a lot nicer than what it used to be before. Great area to visit on a summer day.
Very nice play for cc skiing.
nice park
(Translated) Nature near the city (Original) Nature près de la ville
Great to walk through the forest!
(Translated) I loved it it was very interesting and very big but lots of mosquito mosquitoes (Original) J'ai adoré c'était très intéressant et très grand mais beaucoup de moustiques maringouin
Nice to make a bbq besides a lake. The beach is small, so get early if you want a good spot
Great park. I wish they didn't charge for parking, though.
Went there and there was no one (Sunday). The trails are nice and there's a pavilion. Rode around on my bike.....
Fun riding in the trails ...didn't see anyone else there..Great day
(Translated) Really nice site to walk in the woods. Lots of little trails to explore. (Original) Vraiment beau site pour marcher dans le bois. Beaucoup de petits sentiers à découvrir.
nice for walks or runs or a family outing. renovations are going on at this time so it's kind of crappy right now...
Beautiful park . Good place to bike or walk . Kept very clean .
(Translated) Great park for family walks (Original) Super parc pour faire des promenades en famille
Great excersise
This is a splendid park with well-groomed walking trails.
Loved it
Overall great, but have to pay for parking. Fun in winter and summer. Small beach there, very shallow water. Nice when it's hot. Wooden bridge is closed due to spring flood of 2017. What a shame. Will probably take ages to re-build. Great biking area in the summer too.
Some parts are still closed for renovation, but you still pay when you park. A lot of giant Mosquitos
Amazingly beautiful and the view wow
Very spacious park with lots of trails. Sightseeing during the winter: the downy woodpecker! There were many little buddies during my walk. Sadly couldn’t get a close enough picture.
(Translated) Beautiful park but close to the swamp so there are a lot of mosquitoes (Original) Beau parc mais proche du marécage donc y a ennormement de moustiques
Super
A wooded gem. This park has forest in it's natural state with well maintained trails. There is a boardwalk over a large marsh where birdwatching can net a number of species. I like looking for the turtles too. Owl will nest in the forest. Walking in the summer is great. In the winter the trails are very popular with cross-country skiers. The northern section of the park has a chalet and a very small beach. The beach fronts a swimming area that is very shallow and perfect for very young children. A lifeguard is on station in the summer for daytime hours. We need more parks like this one in the Montreal area.
Lovely , relaxing place , love the river
(Translated) Beautiful park. Well maintained, good sanctuary for different species of birds. (Original) Très beau parc. Bien entretenu, bon sanctuaire pour les différentes espèces d'oiseaux.
This is a beautiful park for a stroll or a bike ride. The paths are clean and well maintained. You'll find plenty of wildlife to observe.
(Translated) Unfortunately, the long curving bridge no longer exists. I hope they will rebuild it. (Original) Malheureusement, le long pont en courbe n'existe plus. J'espère qu'il vont le reconstruire.
Nice place for a quick family hike. Dogs allowed on leash.
(Translated) Ok, I think we are far from having a park on par with Central Park in New York. I have something to compare having already visited several Nature parks in Montreal. But this one deserves to be REALLY, supervised and better trivialized! Because the paths are incorrectly indicated, and it is easy not to go where you want (example, the chalet in the park). (Original) Ok, jsuis d'avis qu'on est loin d'avoir un parc à la hauteur de Central Park à New York. J'ai matière à comparer ayant deja visité plusieurs parcs Nature de montreal. Mais celui-là, mériterait d'être VRAIMENT, encadré et mieux banalisé! Car les sentiers sont mals indiqués, et qu'il est facile de ne pas aller où l'on veut (exemple, le chalet du parc).
(Translated) The beach was unfortunately closed (Original) …
nice quiet parc, with lots of biking trails
Needs help, used to be a great park, rundown
Great place in the west island to go for a walk and get some fresh air! So close to the hustle and bustle of the city yet a tranquil oasis at the same time!
Great nature park with trails picnic areas and wild life.
(Translated) Okay (Original) Bueno
Amazing 10/10
(Translated) Beautiful area! (Original) Très bel endroit!
Lovely wide paths and well maintained
Were weak ago..too much mud, ok for walking , trails weren't possible for bicycles.
Nice snowshoe trails.
Very busy but amazing view by the water and plenty to do
Very nice spot. Nature park. Enough parking.
(Translated) I can't wait for the bridge to be rebuilt. (Original) J'ai bien hâte que la passerelle soit reconstruite.
Parts of the path currently inaccessible due to work being done. Otherwise a nice park.
(Translated) A nice place for walking and made of picnick (Original) Un belle place pour marche et fait de picnick
(Translated) Beautiful walks, small beach, woods and a marshy environment to discover (once the work on the footbridge is finished) (Original) Belles ballades, petite plage, bois et un milieu marécageux a découvrir ( une fois les travaux de la passerelle terminés)
Nice winter walk
Beautiful view of the sunset in the evening. Nice walking trails, but the trails get muddy during rain. Parking is 7.50 for two hours and 9.50 Cad for complete day. Pretty quite and small park.
Endless walking and the lakes on the map are not really lakes on the ground.
Great for a nature walk
(Translated) Two words: calm and serenity (Original) Deux mots : calme et sérénité
(Translated) Without the golf courses the forest would be better. (Original) Sans les terrains de golf la forêt serait mieu .
(Translated) beautiful park, provide anti bugs summer (Original) superbe parc, prevoir de l'anti bibittes l'ete
Great Park, Close to Montreal, Close to the City. Reasons to go: 1. The Variety of Birds, Turtles and Wildlife 2. Nice Swamps, Nice Ponds Yet the park can take you less than 2:30 hours to do almost all the routes, also parts of the park are close to the main road, and you can hear cars a lot. Also parts of the park are not well maintained, the bridges where down and dangerous when I went there. But all in all worth a one time visit, I did it walking, yet biking seems to also be a fun option.
(Translated) Too bad the pontoon has not yet been repaired (Original) Dommage que le ponton ne soit pas encore réparé
Nice place to visit and walk with friends or dogs.
Very nice place to walk and/or ride your bicycle... However, it's a pity that a family place is used for people to smoke weed freely without caring if there are children, or simply other people who are not supposed to to "enjoy your taste".
(Translated) Very nice trail (Original) Très beau sentier
(Translated) Lack of maintenance and let go for a few years. Disappointing for such a beautiful place. Cycling must be careful because of the addition of gravel and many branches. (Original) Manque d'entretien et laisser allez depuis quelques années. Décevant pour une si belle place. En vélo faut être prudent car ajout de gravelle et beaucoup de branches.
(Translated) I loved the scenery, the natural environment, the fresh air, very cozy to share with the family. (Original) Me encantó, los paisajes el entorno natural el aire fresco, muy acogedor para compartir en familia.
The trail was good for biking, only negative was the swamp area that is the direct route to the beach has been closed for renovations for over a year.
Very nice park! Good for kayaking, hiking and other outdoor activities!
Easy and beautiful trail. Dogs allowed
(Translated) The park is very beautiful and calm. It is possible to go for a long hike. The disadvantage is that parking is paying. (Original) Le parc est très beau et calme. C'est possible de faire une longue randonnée. Le désavantage c'est que le stationnement est payant.
Nice place
Because of the floods, it's a disaster.

(Translated) Great place to walk, run, bike, fish, whatever! Nature in the middle of the city. (Original) Super endroit pour marcher, courir, faire du vélo, pêcher, peu importe! La nature au milieu de la ville.
(Translated) Magnificent (Original) Magnifique
There is no a wide space to chill out. All the tables are close to each other. Not recommended to spend your weekend there.
Perfect trails for cycling and hiking. Plenty of benches to enjoy a meal or two on. Several lookouts where if you're quiet and patient enough you can see some cool wildlife. Love this park!
Beautiful park to walk or bike around, great trails and better views!
(Translated) A super beautiful park to spend a day with the family. Ideal for spending the day with friends and practicing water sports. There is a charge for parking for the day. It's important to pay so you don't have surprises at the end of the day. There were several cars with tickets. The only terrible thing is the bathroom. Disgusting at hard level. (Original) Un super beau parc pour passer une journée en famille. Idéal pour passer la journée avec des amis et pratiquer du sport aquatique. Il y un frais pour le parking pour la journée. Il est important de payer pour ne pas avoir des surprises à la fin de la journée. Il y avait plusieurs autos avec des tickets. La seule chose terrible c'est la salle de bain. Dégueulasse à niveau hard.
Good for a nice walk
Good one ☺
Beautiful park! huge trees and ponds ..the park is very large and is fun to walk or bike in the summer. When the renovation/construction of the "passerelles" (foot bridges) will be done..it will be perfect!
So peaceful and quiet
Came for a Guepe demonstration on frogs. The kids loved it and I saw enough of it to want to come back to explore the rest of the park.
Great place very calm and sooo beautiful.
(Translated) Lack of maintenance in recent years. GRANDE PASSERELLE demolished but not yet rebuilt. Besides that ... very beautiful park. (Original) Entretien déficient ces dernières années. GRANDE PASSERELLE démolie mais pas encore reconstruite. Outre celà... très beau parc.
I enjoyed the rabbit trial , very beautiful scenery and pleasant 11 km, sunset on the waterfront was fantastic, area for picnics and free parking

(Translated) Need a little love. But it's a peaceful place. (Original) Besoin d'un peu d'amour. Mais c'est un endroit paisible.
Nice to bike ride, great view
Small place and it isn't worth $7 for parking fee.
Nice and quiet place
Really lively park
Beautiful place to walk in family, but there are a lot of bikes.....
Beautiful nature, I was doing UPS delivery.
Great place to walk, run, bike, whatever! Nature in the middle of town.
Most of the trails are closed or inaccessible currently.
(Translated) Very nice park. Table is a bit lacking so make sure you take a blanket if you have to eat on the soft sands of the beach. My only annoyance, the violent smell of cannabis that was ... inevitable to us (Original) Très beau parc. Il manque un peu de table alors pensez à vous prendre une couverture si vous deviez manger sur le doux sable de la plage. Mon seul désagrément, la violente odeur de canabis qui nous était... inévitable
Excellent
(Translated) People who ride fat bikes off-trail ... Sadness because the vegetation is damaged. Too many people walk off the trail too. The park has indications for snowshoeing. Let's stick to the trails! (Original) Les gens qui font du fat bike hors sentier... Tristesse car on abîme la végétation. Trop de personnes marchent hors sentier aussi. Le parc a des indications pour la raquette. Tennons nous aux sentiers!
Great for bicycle rides and walking...
(Translated) Perfect for a nice day out with family and friends. (Original) Idéale pour une belle journée avec la famille et les amis.
Perfect place to chill and metal detect
Nice pasarelle with some wild animals. You can see turtles, fishes, frogs. Nice hiking. Nit too many places for picnic.
(Translated) A single path we turn in a circle a lot of hardwoods (Original) Un seul sentier on tourne en rond beaucoup de feuillus
First time being here and I’m very thankful to have stepped in to this place. It’s a hidden forgotten place. I heard it has been renovated that’s why it’s looking very pretty. The trail is long and a bit confusing so it’s better to bike it …
Perfect
Not too many people and nice to be in nature
Nice park, charcoals, tables and lots of parking. Small private beach, good times.
Beautiful swamps all over the park. Tracks well made for winter. Just an amazingly underated park.
Great beach and nature spot
It's a small Beautiful place, not a lot of people and perfect for a quick summer beach sesh! The info center was closed because of covid when we reached there and it sucked that there was no access to washrooms because of that!
Wonderful place to explore. Loved it!
Beautiful and peaceful park. Protected area. Perfect for walking, running and bicycle rides. Everyone was very respectful and we met good people. Will definitly go back.
(Translated) The trail is completely accessible for wheelchair users. It's perfect for parents who use a stroller for their child. The perfect walk for everyone. Hat! I can not wait to see the new footbridge on the Marais and watch the birds again in the spring of 2020. (Original) Le sentier est complètement accessible pour les utilisateurs d’un fauteuil roulant. C’est parfait aussi pour les parents qui utilisent une poussette pour leur enfant. La promenade parfait pour tout le monde. Chapeau ! J’ai bien hâte de voir la nouvelle passerelle sur le Marais et de regarder les oiseaux encore une fois au printemps 2020.
A lovely tranquil park by the river : perfect for a familly picnic or a hike.
Such a beautiful place, it is well maintained the trails are easy to walk yet amazingly pretty. The welcome center is closed due to covid but there is a toilet available if needed. …
Such a quiet place for spending time with yourself and friends... you will feel refreshed. It’s a good idea to bring some food.
Can't wait for the construction to be finished, then I'll revise my review to 5 stars.
A stunningly beautiful park. Walking over that marsh on the wooden path at night with stars above is one of the most magical moments of my life.
Nicely maintained trails however why isn't the catwalk fixed after so many years? The broken catwalk essentially cut the park in half and no access between the trails and the picnic/beach areas.
This is a place to get away and just walk and think... or not.. go to the far side and sit on the rocks looking out at the water
(Translated) Very beautiful course in the forest, well-groomed and maintained trails. (Original) Très beau parcours en forêt, sentiers bien aménagés et entretenus.
Best birding spot in Montreal. Great for marsh birds such as least bitterns. Currently (2017) the boardwalk is closed. Park is free but parking is $5.
Nice job on the new bridge but it's taking to long to finish the other one.
(Translated) Shabby home worthy the Soviet Union, we bothered the only responsible on the site completing his solitaire. Total booze with the 9 dollar pickup machine for parking, an insult. We learn between the branches that there is another parking lot where we are asked to pay, but do not look for the ticket machine, it is non-existent. And the bouquet and that's all the interest of the park with birds and swamps, the gateway closed for renovation. For how long? (Original) Accueil minable digne l'Union Soviétique, nous avons dérangé la seule responsable sur le site en train de compléter son solitaire. Cafouillis total avec la machine de collecte du 9 dollars pour le parking, une insulte. On apprend entre les branches qu'il y a un autre parking introuvable où on nous demande de payer, mais ne cherchez pas l'horodateur, il est inexistant. Et le bouquet et c'est tout l'intérêt du parc avec les oiseaux et les marécages, la passerelle fermée pour rénovation. Pour combien de temps?
Beautiful place to spend the morning or afternoon.
Stunning place to walk
Cool!
(Translated) Perfect place to: bird watching, biking, walking, pick-nick, bathing (beach). Paid parking. (Original) Endroit parfait pour : observer les oiseaux, faire du vélo, marcher, faire un pick-nick, se baigner (plage). Stationnement payant.
Not very difficult
(Translated) Some trails are currently closed for the year however it is still possible to get to the waterfront. Very pleasant walk with a magnificent sunset over the water in addition to the vibrant fall colors still present. (Original) Certains sentiers sont présentement fermés pour l’année par contre il est toujours possible de se rendre au bord de l’eau. Promenade très agréable avec un magnifique couché de soleil sur l’eau en plus des couleurs automnales éclatantes encore présentes.
(Translated) It's a beautiful place, you can swim picnic sin. (Original) C'est un bel endroit , vous pouvez vous baigner péché pique niquer.
Bring Off...alot of mosquitoes
(Translated) Sunrise is splendid in September! The wooden bridge that winds a long distance above the water before plunging back into the woods is the most famous attraction of this natural park. Most often, photos are installed in longevity for hours, stretching their targets like elite shooters, to capture the most beautiful snapshots of the creatures of these places. (Original) Răsăritul de soare este splendid în septembrie! Pasarela de lemn care șerpuiește pe o bună distanță deasupra apei înainte de a se cufunda din nou în pădure, este punctul de atracție cel mai cunoscut al acestui parc natural. Cel mai adesea, fotografii se instalează la pândă ore lungi întinzându-și obiectivele asemenea unor trăgători de elită, pentru a surprinde cele mai frumoase instantanee ale viețuitoarelor acestor locuri.
(Translated) For a quiet family walk or a picnic. But there is a lack of information on the trails. Be careful there are flooded paths. (Original) Pour une marche tranquille en famille ou un pique-nique. Mais il manque d'information sur les sentiers. Attention il y a des chemins inondés.
(Translated) Amazing place to relax and also active recreation A pleasant place to relax by the water or wandering through the woods or on a bicycle (Original) Uzasne miesto pre oddych a tiez aktivny odpocinok Prijemne miesto pre relax pri vode alebo na potulkach lesom ci na bycikli
(Translated) People should be advised that the gangways have been demolished and Not yet replaced and this for 1 1/2 years, I find indecent Not to warn us and it is the same for the nature park Pointe aux Prairies Heritage section which are supposed to be ready since May And who are not yet. (Original) Il faudrait avisé les gens que les passerelles ont etées démolies et n'ont Pas etées encore remplacées et ce depuis 1 1/2 ans ,je trouve indécent Ne de pas nous en avertir et et c'est la même chose pour le parc nature Pointe aux Prairies section Héritage qui sont supposée êtres prêtes depuis mai Et qui ne le sont pas encore.
Under construction
Beautiful park, great for running, biking or simply walking to enjoy nature within Montreal vicinity
If you don't have a bicycle to ride don't go there.
(Translated) We go there for cycling and a bit of beach. The beach is not inviting and part of the bike path is in the suburbs and neofuner houses. Some passages were closed for infrastructure repairs. Even in the forest, the suburbs are never far away. We had to cross a road to continue on the trail and the priority to pedestrians and cyclist is not respected. In short this park is not worth the detour for these activities. (Original) Nous y sommes aller pour faire du vélo et un peu de plage. La plage n'est pas invitante et une partie du sentier de vélo est dans la banlieue et ses maisons néofunéraires. Certains passages étaient fermés pour la réfection d'infrastructures. Même en forêt, la banlieue n'est jamais très loin. Nous avons dû traverser une route pour poursuivre dans le sentier et la priorité aux piétons et cycliste n'est pas respectée. Bref ce parc ne vaut pas le détour pour ces activités.
The entrance to the main trail opposite the parking lot is blocked/ flooded by water. I wish the City could have posted a sign BEFORE I paid $7 for parking. Really poor mgtd.
My favourite wooded park in the West Island. To me this park is like a warm hug to the soul ????????????
Beautiful nice place to rest by the water
Much of the park is under construction and closed to the public. (summer 2020). It'll be much nicer once things reopen
Most of the park is closed right now due to construction
(Translated) The place to pay for parking was not indicated and therefore not found. I moved for nothing. (Original) L'endroit pour payer pour le stationnement n'était pas indiqué et donc introuvable. Je me suis déplacé pour rien.
(Translated) All walkways are not accessible and it is not registered on their site or at the park entrance really disappointed. We paid for nothing. (Original) Toutes les passerelles ne son pas accessible et ce n est pas inscrit sur leur site ni à l entrée du parc vraiment déçu. Nous avons payé pour rien.
Nature
Flooded area but access to the lake is possible.
(Translated) A beautiful nature park with a golf course (Original) Un beau parc nature avec un golf
Do Yourself a favor and DON'T go there during the summer season 2019!!! The place is infested with flies !!! I got tons of Very bad bites!! Had to run to Dr and am taking cortisone pills and applying cortisone cream! It's a very pretty place. Maybe this infestation id caused by the flooding earlier this season? Sand bags still there in rabbit trail. Another thing, go in groups bec You can Get lost! Put a marking along Your path to know how to get out of the park. Don go this season if You don't want to end up at a Dr emergency.
After few days of rain...mosquitoes are back
(Translated) Beautiful place and go for walking (Original) Magnifique endroit et faire de la marche a pied
(Translated) Very small beach very can water zero distance for $ 9.50 a day it's really not worth the trouble (Original) Plage tres petite tres peut d'eau distanciation zero pour 9.50$ la journée ca ne vaut vraiment pas la peine

Nice place
Calm and peaceful place to relax and walk or jog
(Translated) The 9/10 of the park are still closed. It seems that the work will finally take place between fall 21 and fall 22 but it has not started. On the other hand the parking meter has been changed which allows us to extract $ 7.5 (the double of 4 years ago) to have access for two hours to the reception pavilion (closed except the toilets) and to the small path from the small beach. Final point. It has been going on for three years !!!!! (Original) Les 9/10 du parc sont toujours fermés. Il semble que les travaux auront finalement lieu entre l'automne 21 et l'automne 22 mais ils ne sont pas commencés. Par contre l'horodateur a été changé ce qui permet de nous soutirer 7,5$ (le double d'il y a 4 ans) pour avoir accès pour deux heures au pavillon d'accueil (fermé sauf les toilettes) et au petit sentier de la petite plage. Point à la ligne. Ça dure depuis trois ans!!!!!
Love the area. A great place to bike, hike, or walk. Would recommend going back again for another hike. Just make sure to use the hikijg trails off the beaten paths.
Nice parc for hiking and biking.
If you love nature, its a great place to visit. My family loved it
Not that much to see
(Translated) Excellent park, I love the undergrowth. (Original) Excellent parc, j’adore les sous bois.
Nice for a walk in the woods, bike path is made of gravel
(Translated) Very beautiful place in any season! It's just a shame that some trails are impossible to access or never finished. (Original) Très bel endroit en toute saison ! C'est juste dommage que certains sentiers soient impossible d'accès ou jamais terminés.
The park is retaining natural flavour. The river along is great add on to beauty of place. Ofcourse on board walk is closed for maintenance. It's really worth visit for tourists as well locals in neighbouring towns.
It friendly and has a beautiful nature
(Translated) Peaceful, beautiful beach, clean and well maintained santiers. (Original) Paisible, belle plage, santiers propres et bien entretenu.
(Translated) Very pretty and friendly. (Original) Très joli et convivial.
All under renovation... Renovation seems to have no apparent end date as it's been half closed for almost three years now... All the good parts are off limits.
Well marked trails but still a bit confusing. Would have been nice if it had a view of the lake.
Love this place, to bad the bridge is not built yet
(Translated) Very nice place (Original) Très belle endroit
Lovely place for bbq
Just wanted to let people know the smaller of two passerelles is now open. As the larger bridge/passerelle is still under construction you cannot access from the main parking lot. A small parking lot near the ferry is a good choice.
Best place to take an walk!
(Translated) Nice trails but some are closed temporarily and others almost impassable by bike because it is sand (Original) Beaux sentiers mais certains sont fermés provisoirement et d'autres presque impraticables en vélo car c'est du sable
It's amazing park .
quite small area of “beach” but accessible to go not faraway. No entry fee but 7$ -2hours and 9$ for a day
Nice place for a hike or cross country ski. It’s not as crowded as other parks around Montreal.
Disappointing. Unfortunately, the beautiful boardwalk pictured no longer exists. It had begun to buckle years ago, as has another boardwalk in the park. As a result, access to some of the best areas of the park is no longer possible. The park is cut in two. As someone who loved this park, it is a shame. The main boardwalk has not been replaced, and the large, expansive marsh it crossed is no longer accessible. We have been hoping it would have been replaced long ago.
Some traits and still closed but other than that, it is beautiful place
The big part of the park is closed/under construction, so going there now is a waste of time. Disappointed.
A great spot to take a hike and "leave" the city behind you, while still in the city.
(Translated) Track closed after paying for parking. $ 7.50 Not strong!!! (Original) Piste fermé après avoir payé le stationnement .7.50$ Pas fort!!!
Great place to be near the nature.
Nice, week groomed trails with multiple entry points. Sadly some are currently closed making accessing certain areas impossible without driving. …
Wonderful! Great walking trails. You can also snowshoe and do cross-country skiing. Can't wait until they finish the construction of the new bridges.
Beautiful park year round lovely trails through the woods. Please note that the pictured long wooden boardwalk through one marsh has been dismantled. There is a new one however that gives great views of the wildlife. If you come by bike, enter the park by the de l'Eglise entrance and it's an amazing downhill coast down to the marsh!
(Translated) The beautiful bridge is currently closed for renovations (Original) Le beau pont est présentement fermé pour rénovations
Beautiful park and have nice views.
Tiny beach, but it's nice to relax and you only pay parking per vehicle
beautiful sunsets!
Good trails but they took out most of the big long passerelle over the water. That was half the beauty of these trails. Now the trails are short and don't all connect.
Beautiful park with trails maintained even during winter!
A place for the light hiking. You also can go to swim, because there's a small beach.
(Translated) It is incredible that the work of the bridges does not end in this park .... Is it bad management or a lack of political courage. Mr. Ferrandez please act. (Original) C'est incroyable que les travaux des passerelles ne se terminent pas dans ce parc....Est-ce de la mauvaise gestion ou un manque de courage politique.M.Ferrandez agissez svp.
Great park and woods. Either for hiking or biking, it is really a piece of heaven in city. Lakes' view is amazing. You can find one of the hidden observatories and meditate peacefully. Gorgeous lake view, nature sounds, sun or shadow just remedy for depression or any stress of life. In last two years they were working on restoring the old wooden long bridges. Hope they finish these soon. This was a loss lately. You can take amazing photos for both fauna and flora. If this review was helpful please don't forget to like it. Thank you and enjoy your experience!
(Translated) A place of relaxation (Original) Un lieu de détente
(Translated) Very beautiful park, very impressive new bridge (Original) Très beau parc nouveau pont très impressionnant
Good park for dogs. Has poo bags and water
Great parc with amazing views.
Good for family
0 stars. Visited for the first time a week ago. Did not go off trail, respected those trails that were temporarily closed --- came out with poison ivy. Also the trails that are closed seem to be the nicest/most popular. Didn't get to experience them, and for the same price + poison ivy! Wont be going back. Can't trust the signs, can't trust that it's well maintained, and by reading the comments - can't trust that your car wont get broken into. 0 security, no cameras. Don't risk it!
Beautiful
(Translated) Nice place for snowshoeing Thank you (Original) Bel endroit pour la raquette Merci
(Translated) It is not well marked and lacks indication (Original) …
Beautiful Nature
This used to be my favorite nature walk period but after 2 years of construction we still haven't finished and the park is partly closed. I expect it will take at least 5 years for Nature to repair all the damage and return to the original beauty. So sad.
A great place to relax on weekends.
I won't go again until they do not repair the bridges which are broken already for a couple of year and still in construction. Be aware of mosquitos if you want to stroll in the woods!
Park is nice but the trails are not very well marked or maintained. Not too stroller friendly in several places.
(Translated) Beautiful site and beautiful sunset. (Original) Très beau site et magnifique coucher de soleil.
(Translated) The reception always closed = no toilet! The tables are in full sun, during a heat wave it is not tempting! Beautiful landscapes broken by the noises of motor boats! (Original) L'accueil toujours fermé = aucune toilette! Les tables sont en plein soleil, en période de canicule c'est pas tentant! Beaux paysages brisés par les bruits des bateaux à moteur !
(Translated) The access path that crosses the center of the park is closed. Result: if you park in the north, you only have access to the beach! (Original) Le chemin d'accès qui traverse le centre du parc est fermé. Résultat: si on se stationne au nord, on a accès seulement à la plage!
Disappointing!
(Translated) Very nice forest park. Lots of small trails. A few small lakes to run around. Different access points. Paid parking though. Not a lot of access to water front. The existing waterfront accesses are small. The routes are fairly well marked. Very passable in summer and winter. Good for running, walking, cross country skiing, snowshoeing. Too bad it is not bigger. Bordered by houses and a gigantic golf course. (Original) Very nice forest parc. Lots of small trails. A few small lakes to run around. Different access points. Paid parking though. Not a lot of access to water front. The existing waterfront accesses are small. Les parcours sont assez bien indiqués. Très praticable été comme hiver. Bon pour courir, marcher, ski de fonds, raquette. Dommage qu'il ne soit pas plus grand. Bordé par les maisons et in golf gigantesque.
Nice path for bike and walk. Unfortunately not many view spots and middle section closed. At evening time mosquitos can be a problem. Everything else is nice. There are bio-toilets at each official parking spots.
(Translated) It's super nice to walk, enjoy nature and breathe the fresh air. (Original) C'est super agréable de se promener, profiter de la nature et respirer de l'air frais.
(Translated) Superb supervised beach with soft sand. There are rocks though, just at the start of the water. So I recommend water shoes for sensitive feet! (Original) Superbe plage surveillée avec du sable doux. Il y a des roches par contre, juste au début de l'eau. Donc je recommande des souliers d'eau pour les pieds sensibles !
Came here thinking we'd see the beautiful pathways from the photos, but I believe that it no longer exists. Besides that, this park is well maintained, beautiful walking trails in winter, not slushy, veryyy big and people are super nice and …
good
Signs are down on most trails this winter
Another typical poorly run poorly managed public facility run by city of Montreal. Almost as bad as their laughably poor website. Maybe contracts shouldn’t be given to politicians friends and relatives. Unbelievably low standard all round....perhaps an increase in taxes would be the answer.
Great place for a stroll and a bike ride. Be careful with poison Ivy and mosquitoes.
Beautiful, well groomed trails for walking, skiing, snowshoeing, biking in a quiet forest setting accessible from multiple entrances. Lots of birds and wildlife. Saw a brown barn owl out during the afternoon today while snowshoeing with the kids!
A very good place for a walk or a bike ride they have many trails from short to long
Refreshing walks during all seasons with cross country and snowshoeing trails in the winter. Beautiful place to visit close to Montreal but away from the hustle and bustle.
Great place to spend a day walking or cycling in the fresh air, among the woods, a lol Ong well kept pathways
Canada beach experience
