Parc-nature de l'Ile-de-la-Visitation

The most urban of Montréal’s nature parks, this riverside escape stretches along the Rivière des Prairies with trails that blend nature and history. Explore the ruins of old mills, visit the Maison du Pressoir museum or take in scenic views from the lookouts. Hiking and cycling paths offer opportunities to spot a wide variety of birds, while winter brings equipment rentals for plenty of playtime in the snow. An annual program of outdoor activities and biodiversity education rounds out the experience, making it a destination for discovery year-round.
