Hiking in Parc-nature Du Ruisseau-de Montigny: trails, map and practical info

What the City of Montréal publishes

Ruisseau-De Montigny Nature Park is at 7123 boulevard Maurice-Duplessis, in the Rivière-des-Prairies–Pointe-aux-Trembles borough. The City describes it as a linear park along the stream and its small waterfalls, with 3.3 km of trails for walking or cycling.

Trails and seasons

The City's page gives 3.3 km of trails in total; it names no circuit and gives no elevation gain, no duration and no difficulty level. In winter, the City lists a "winter walking trail" in its trail conditions.

Natural setting

The park is a protected area where red ash grows and the brown snake lives. Four small islands lie near the Rivière des Prairies; the City mentions muskrats, great blue herons, ducks and fish there. The park runs along Autoroute 25 north, where earth mounds block the view and reduce the noise.

Services

A picnic area is the only facility listed on the City's page.

Dogs, parking and admission

Unconfirmed for this nature park: the City's page says nothing about dogs, parking, an admission fee, accessibility or public transit. The City's page on parking in nature parks does not list this park. The City's general rule for its parks is that dogs are welcome if leashed; nothing says it applies unchanged here.
