Historic banks, a return to nature A true historical gem! Located along the rivière des Prairies, at the very heart of the history of Sault-au-Récollet, this park abounds in historical elements, such as the site des Moulins ruins, the maison du Pressoir and the maison du Meunier. While picnicking, hiking or bike riding, discover the overflow dam waterfall of the Rivière-des-Prairies electric power station. Above all, don't forget your binoculars which you can use to observe the shore birds, among others. Fishing buffs can enjoy their favourite sport in the specially designated areas. In winter, make the most of the toboggan hill and the marked hiking or cross-country ski trails. Activities
