Boucherville Islands National Park

Great Park. Close to Montreal. Close to the south shore. It is important that you get a map of the island as you will get to discover how massive and beautiful it is. - Get your self a good bottle of water. If you are doing the 3 islands walking, you will need some food and water. - Don't underestimate the size of the island. - The island is perfect for biking, but walking is perfect. -There are a lot of activities all of which are free for kids. - There is a camp site definitely worth it. - Staff is friendly and helpful. - There are a lot of deer and birds. If you like to talk photos prepare yourself.

Near Montreal, this national park offers good hiking trails and nice views. There is a rental place for kayaks and water sports, but be aware that the last rental is at 3:45 PM. We waited in line for 40 minutes, and despite reaching the front at around 3:50 PM, the staff refused to rent to us, claiming they were closed. It looked like the staff started closing sooner and didn't serve others. Although there are indoor bathrooms and a small shop, the bathroom closed at 5 PM, which was inconvenient. Overall, the hike was pleasant, but the staff didn't seem helpful.

We've camped here, biked, kayaked over the years, I tried to rent a kayak the other day but the rental place is closed during the week, only opened on weekends and holidays, so I biked for a bit but there is not much to do unless you have plans, biking around the island takes like 20 minutes. I came by ferry from the main land, it's $3.25 each way. Camping is great, it's a very nice parc with lovely sounds of nature, great amenities, a boutique and snack store on the main island. You need a buggy to bring your stuff over to the site, cars are not permitted.

Beautiful place to go for a walk, alone, in groups, or with your dog. I went on April 07, and all washrooms were still closed (only the one in the visitor's center was open), which is the reason why I am giving four stars. It is pretty hard waking for 4, 5 km without a washroom or a place to refill your water bottle. It was my first time there and I will be more prepared next time for sure. Anyway, I enjoyed my time there. Probably the best time to go is in the fall when all the trees are changing colors. Truly, I will be back.

Passed by because I was staying at the hotel governor next to it so I decided to take a tour. At first I hesitated if it’s worth the entrance fee to get in. One day on a weekday after work I went there and there was no one at the gate so I went right in. I was surprised. There were more deers than people. There’s a long loop of nice gravel trail for walking and biking. Plenty of picnic tables around too. Drive right into it there is a visitor centre and washrooms and parking lots.
