Pointe-du-Buisson National Historic Site of Canada is made up of several archaeological sites spread over a wooded plateau on a point of land along the Saint Lawrence River in Beauharnois. The museum permits visitors to enter the fascinating world of archeologists. From the Indigenous peoples of 5000 years ago to the Europeans of the 16th, 17th, 18th, and 19th century, as well as hosting Sunday meetings celebrating commercial fishing in the 20th century, Pointe-du-Buisson has known multitudes of occupants over the course of its impressive history.
The trails of the park allow you to appreciate the unique forest cover of the hickory-maple grove, a forest that has been around for millennia and houses a complex and increasingly fragile ecosystem. Dogs on a leash are allowed on the site, and the leash must be in your hand at all times.
The trails are conducive to observing wildlife and flora. Boardwalks and mulched surfaces are mitigation measures designed to reduce human impact on the site's integrity. These structures are intended for pedestrian use.
