Beautiful park with incredible rapids and animals and birds and fish and many things... you typically see when you're out of the city however this park happens to be not all that far and is part of Montreal!

Leonor Daigneault

A very peaceful and clean place. Great idea to have free parking. Missing a bathroom is needed.

Michael Metzen

Nice little park that gives you a great view on the rapids. Must be beautiful when all the migration birds are there.

Bass King

Nice place for a beautiful view of the blue water

Monica Ruiz

It's a very nice place to ride a bike or relax and watch the river.

Claudia

Pure enchantment by the St-Lawrence river rapids. This promenade has been routed with brilliantly crafted railings, benches, picnic tables and to top it off...even garbage cans. I was incredibly impressed with the whole process that went into highlighting this gem of a place. The bonus...it's all free! Now for an important security suggestion...place some key barriers where one can fall off many points along the paths...very dangerous! To conclude...thanks for showcasing such an amazing place.

Been here because the national park was full. And the rapids are quite impressive to look at. Other than that, it's a casual walk with a path in the nature.

JAIDEEP SINGH SACHDEV

Very beautiful and peaceful place. A must visit for bird lovers. Lot of benches to sit and enjoy. Can rent bixi cycles also. Convenient to reach by public transport.

Great place to walk and see birds and ducks and geese.

Fatemeh Sayadi

I love it there, the sound of birds, river, and wind. What a masterpiece. It has bicycle road. Not crowded. Even the smell is very nice, really peaceful place, the only problem is there are so many bugs there.

Michiel Huiskens Nogueira

Beautiful little park with many cozy places to sit, relax and cool down in the shadow. Right next to the rapids it's nicely refreshing in the summer. Definitely recommend visiting this park, it's easy to get to as well.

Lp Camozzi

Beautiful age old place to relax by the fast moving St Lawrence river. Lots of birds and fast moving rapids.Dont let kids get close. Too dangerous. Fishers must wear life jackets. Nice place for a picnic lunch for a small group.

A nice park to walk on. It has beautiful view to the river

Dean Dyckow

Great place to go relax Also a bird sanctuary. So scenic.

George Chan

It was a beautiful day today and as always, it was very nice to take a walk in Des Rapides Park. If you ever have questions about the park or about any of the wildlife that is around, or even about what kind of fish ???? are in the river, there is usually someone that is working there that can answer your questions.

Andrzej Szelerski

A place where you can experience peace. Admire flowers, birds and nature. Hear the rushing water.

Always good to go there and relax. The sound of the water running is quite soothing. Don't forget to stop by for an ice-cream across the street.

Maria Joao Sa

Beautiful park

C. Leigh

Gorgeous walk to see the rapids. Especially liked when you were in the centre and the water on one side was beautiful and calm with people paddle boarding, and you looked to the other side and the rapids were raging.

Jukebox Canada

Beautiful despite the cloudy conditions

DRA Channel

Beautiful walk paths. Refreshing and mind calming place.

Nipuni perera

Very nice place to walk around. Nice view on the Lasalle rapids. Excellent place to do bird observation. Major improvements have been made to pathways and access during summer 2016. Free access

Baby Delizzle

Always an amazing place to go, bring your friends and family of all ages. Bathrooms are easily located and there is a lot of nature/wild life to look at and enjoy. I would recommend that everyone who goes to these places remember to …

Cara McCallum

A great place to take a nature walk. Right by the water. Quiet and serene

benjamin mcdonald

Amazing location. A fairy wonderland! Peace and tranquility on one side, chaos and the awesome power of nature on the other. One of Montreal greatest parks. The work by the maintenance team is A+

Ian MacDonald

This is an excellent park. Taking advantage of the site of a former hydroelectric dam, the rapids provide a really interesting backdrop to a bird sanctuary. Full of nice foot paths, with benches and hidden areas all over it's a great place to spend an afternoon bird-watching, reading a book, or just watching the water rush past.

Raed

Clean,Park, Free parking, lots of tables to eat at with your love ones & family and outdoor gatherings are permitted, as long as respecting the protocols. Very nice views. Beautiful place to take your kids. Beautiful place to walk, long walks, bicks not allowed inside

Felix-Albert Desmangles

Wonderful outdoor wildlife refuge. Taking a walk and enjoying the wildlife and listening to the rapids nearby. Multiple walking and bike paths to get you around. Or bring a blanket and just sit on the grass and enjoy lunch.

Ali Karimirad

It is beautiful small park. Definitely you should see it if you are visiting Montreal Plenty of benches and ???? make it great

MohammadAli Bagheri

Nice park for family gathering, running, biking, doing sport with a nice view of river

Kelly Brown

Absolutely stunning this time of year. The trees have started changing colour and the sound of the water is very relaxing.

Adam Swan

Terrific, beautiful park at the edge of Verdun. Definitely worth visiting while in the area. Great place for biking, throwing a ball around, playing some volleyball, or even going swimming. Check out the surfers in the rapids.

Marco Miguel

Beautiful views, lots of birds, a nice walking path.

JOJO

For daily exercising and relaxing!

Alice Kulyn

It's amazing how many Montrealers have never ventured to one of the most beautiful spots on the island. Bike and walking paths along the river and rapids. Rafting, canoeing, kayaking... just superb access to the river, with multiple free places to park if you arrive by car. Many picnic tables and chairs.

OCTAVIO MATEUS

Great for bird watching, great views. Some nice fishing spots, bring a life jacket

Hadi Shojaee

Good view of rapid water passing

pavneet singh

Beautiful place. Must visit

Kevin Collie

Such a beautiful place. Great for a walk and to appreciate nature. It is a nature reserve so keep in mind it's made for a calmer visit. The staff working there are the absolute worst people. One of the staff made racists comments to belittle me (just because I was unaware that you're not allowed to approach the water). This is the only reason I did not give it 5 stars.

Denis Railan

Great place to look at the rapids

Arantxa Santos

Nice place to go for a walk. Free parking available, but very small, ample enough parking on the street. Narrow trails and people not wearing masks (since it's outdoors) and though there are signs to keep to the right throughout the entire …

Alexandra Solovyeva

Amazing place to observe the power of nature

Rachel Green

this is my secret and favourite place in Montréal. i have watched it grow up, from when the first plantings were made. they are now mature and this wee spit of land that harbours all kinds of birds, lovely plantings and beautifully designed, wave-form tables and benches is a delight in every season.

Amir Yadghar

Very beautiful scenes, special view of river waves. Full of various birds. Free parking

Alim LS

I find this place a very beautiful environment to visit and enjoy the scenery. What is special about this area is that you can see the fast waves of the Saint Lawrence River, you can also find many types of migrating birds. The area has free parking and is easy to access. A must visit for everyone.

Wootaeg Seo

We had a great time! It has a nice view

Glenn Phillips

Always so beautiful to see and hear the rapids! A great place to be, any time of year.

Kay Kay

My home away from home, Gorgeous, Serene & always healing. . .

Mayra Mondragon

Beautiful place to go , you can do multiple activities and enjoy a the day completely! Just great!

Ghislain Godin

Great park for a nice walk. Had a few hours to kill and came over here to explore a little. Was pleased to find this nice park on the banks of the river. Plenty of paths to explore and lots of markers with information on the history of the area. It is also a conservation area protecting many bird species that migrate or live here all year round.

Babandeep Kaur

Amazing place and one can enjoy the mesmerizing views of nature.

Eileen Lavery

A beautiful space to spend some time, listening to rushing water and bird song. One of my favourite places on the island of Montreal.
