Lonely Planet review

This elongated green space on the St Lawrence is the spot to view the spectacular white water of the Lachine Rapids (as well as the jet boats that bump over them). The park attracts a host of outdoorsy types - hikers, anglers and bicyclists who pedal the riverside trail, and it's a renowned bird sanctuary, with what's said to be Québec's largest heron colony. You can rent sailboats and windsurfing boards nearby at the l'École de Voile de Lachine.

Information displays relate the history of the rapids and of the old hydroelectric plant on the grounds.
