It
is
utterly
amazing
and
so
rewarding
to
visit
a
national
park
like
this
one
so
close
to
a
metropolis
like
Montreal.
It
took
us
less
and
30
minutes
to
drive
from
the
city
centre
to
the
parking
lot
on
one
of
the
main
islands,
next
to
the
Visitors’
Centre.
(If
you
don't
have
a
car
you
can
use
a
ferry
from
Montreal.)
If
you
have
bikes,
do
not
hesitate
to
bring
them
(also
on
the
ferry).
We
only
had
a
day,
but
would
love
to
come
back
some
other
time,
and
camp
and
stay
overnight.
Great
facilities,
friendly
and
knowledgable
staff
at
the
visitors’
centre,
a
well-maintained
and
well-signposted
system
of
walk-
and
bicycle
paths,
and
wildlife
in
abundance.
We
saw
Virginia
deer,
groundhogs
and
a
fox
on
our
5km
hike
around
Île-de-la-Commune,
and
on
a
weekday
in
early
August
we
met
maybe
30
people
in
the
park
in
total!
What
a
pleasant
break
from
the
hustle
and
bustle
of
the
big
city,
great
for
children
and
adults
alike.
Highly
recommended
if
the
Île-Sainte-Hélène
in
front
of
the
city
does
not
contain
enough
nature
for
your
taste.
