Three things to do this winter at Parc de la Rivière-des-Mille-Îles
As a thick carpet of snow shimmers under the sun, laughter echoes between the snowy trees of Parc de la Rivière-des-Mille-Îles. The winter season is well and truly underway, and new adventures await you. Once again this year, we've come up with three perfect activities to convince you that winter can be fun. Bundled up in the essential trio of tuque, mittens and scarf, our oasis is ideal for making every family getaway a memorable one.
Activities at the Berge du Garrot
For the first time, this winter, the Garrot riverbank, located behind our Exploration Center, will be the starting point for all our winter activities. This will enable us to provide our visitors with a safe and health-friendly environment.
Ice-skating and sledding
Every day, between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m., enjoy our skating rink and slide during one of our four two-hour blocks. Young and old alike will love twirling around on our skating rink, which offers a breathtaking view of the icy Rivière des Mille Îles. What's more, tobogganing enthusiasts will have a blast hurtling down our snow mountain. Which of you will reveal your figure skating potential on our frozen rink?
Hiking
Whether you're on your own or with the family, hiking is an ideal way to recharge your batteries. While Mother Nature has yet to let us open of our two hiking trails along the river, visitors can still enjoy our Hibou hiking trail. This hike alongside the river all the way to the heart of old Sainte-Rose is a fantastic way to oxygenate the brain. We've also compiled a short list of must-see nature trails nearby:
Centre d’interprétation de la Nature de Boisbriand (Boisbriand)
Parc riverain de l’Île-Garth (Bois-des-Filion)
With a little creativity, this winter is sure to be a thrilling one!
