Parc de la Rivière-du-Moulin, a true natural oasis in the heart of the city, welcomes visitors year-round. During the summer season, explore its marked trails and cycling/pedestrian paths for hiking and biking. You can also rent watercraft and enjoy paddling along the river. In winter, visit the park to discover its snowshoe trails and high-quality cross-country ski network, offering both classic and skate-skiing routes. Two outdoor skating rinks are also open, weather permitting. Depending on the season, a variety of equipment is available for rent, including canoes, single and tandem kayaks, pedal boats, stand-up paddleboards, adaptive bicycles, cross-country skis (classic and skate style), skates, snowshoes, and ice cleats.
The river that runs through the park offers stunning views of the lush vegetation and local wildlife. In summer, you can walk or cycle along certain trails, while in winter, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, and ice skating take center stage, allowing you to fully enjoy this unique natural setting.
