How to Get Here
Car only. Parking is provided. To access the park you have to pay a fee and reserve in advance. Visit the parks website for more information.
I visited this park taking a bus from Montreal to Beloeil and hiked up to the highest point not through the official entrance to the park. My impression though that usually, this way to access the place isn't allowed.
What to See Here
Because of the large, protected forest area, this park is place for all wildlife with preference of deciduous forests except Wolverine and Black Bear. Additionally, the large pond surround by forest provides additional variety.
