THE BIGEST PARK IN MONTREAL

A must to discover

Parc-nature du Cap-Saint-Jacques is Montréal’s largest park. Located on the western part of the island, it is bordered by the Lac des Deux Montagnes and the Rivière des Prairies. The park’s many paths offer magnificent views of the water.

Parc-nature du Cap-Saint-Jacques, Montréal’s largest park, spans an area of 330 hectares  It is home to a sugar shack, two heated chalets and an organic farm, among other things. You can indulge in many activities there throughout the year: swimming, cycling, camping, ledding, snowshoeing and hiking (12km), cross-country skiing (14km) and fatbiking (6.5km). Outdoor aficionados will appreciate the on-site equipment rental service. As you traverse the park, keep an eye out for its historic buildings: the Thomas-Brunet house and Château Gohier.
