Whether you relish hiking, cycling or canoeing, our trails adjacent to the water and our thoroughfares teeming with life guarantee you an unforgettable time. Whether with your family, among friends or solo, come and discover an enchanting protected haven of biodiversity at the heart of the Saint-Lawrence River.

Exploration on the Saint-Lawrence
In a canoe or sea kayak, on a stand-up paddle board (SUP), or even in a foot-pedal craft, glide into the fascinating world of the îles de Boucherville’s internal waterways. A fleet of over 100 watercrafts at your disposal!
Camping on Île Grosbois
Accessible on foot and by bicycle only, the camping and ready-to-camp sites on Île Grosbois are located in a delightful, bewitching section of the park where fields and meadows, forest sites and aquatic environments meet and mix wonderfully. Total change of scenery!
Bicyle Riding on the Islands
Discover the park on our 21-km cycling trail network. The trails head out from the Discovery and Visitors Centre, bend and turn along the Saint-Lawrence and the Grande Rivière, and belt around all the park’s major islands. As part of this family ride, take a break in one of our picnic areas sprinkled along the way.
Observation on Île aux Raisins
For a memorable trek combining relaxation and discovery, come and explore our all-new interactive 3.4-km trail. Along a series of stopovers, alternate between nature-embracing meditative breaks and fascinating fauna and flora observation that make up the treasure of a one-of-a-kind flood plain.
Discovery Stops
All Discovery Stops are now accessible in the summer! This original course is made up of eight outside stops and a large interactive fresco located at the Discovery and Services Centre. They offer visitors immersive experiences on the islands’ fauna, flora and history.
