Parc-nature du Bois-de-l'Île-Bizard
When the kids need actual nature, not city parks, I drive out here. There's a sandy swimming beach in summer, a long boardwalk over a marsh full of turtles and herons, and flat, easy trails kids can handle. It's a proper escape that doesn't require leaving the island of Montreal.
A large nature park with a swimming beach, a long marsh boardwalk, and easy trails — the real-outdoors day when the city's too much.
