Enjoy picnicking, hiking or bike riding with your special someone in this nature park that's also a true historical gem. Located along the Riviere des Prairies, at the very heart of the history of Sault-au-Recollet, the park offers historical elements, such as the Site des Moulins ruins, the Maison du Pressoir and the Maison du Meunier. Don't forget to visit the overflow dam waterfall of the Riviere-des-Prairies. Above all, bring your binoculars to observe the shore birds, among others. Fishing buffs can enjoy their favourite sport in specially-designated areas. In winter, make the most of the toboggan hill and the marked hiking or cross-country ski trails.
