| - Beautiful park located about an hour outside of Montréal. I went here recently when there was a lot of snow, so it was ideal for participating in some winter sports. I tried snowshoeing, which was a lot of fun! There are a few trails you can choose from, each varying in distance and difficulty. The easier trails take less time to complete and are generally more flat with wider trails. The more difficult trails take much longer to complete, have some small hills, winding trails, and narrow parts. The trails are generally easy to follow, as there are coloured triangular markers and arrows to let you know which way to go and which trail you're on. For snowshoeing, there are 3 main trails: L'Écureuil (easiest), Le Marais (intermediate), and La Montée (advanced). I tried Le Marais and La Montée, both of which give you lovely views of the forests. The way the sun shines on the trees and colours them is amazing. La Montée goes along the shore of Lac des deux Montagnes- it was a very cold day, but walking along the shore, it felt like summer, the sun was very warm.
There are plenty of other things to do at the park, such as skiing, hiking, and sledding. At the park you have a beautiful view of Lac des deux Montagnes, which was completely frozen over. Some people were paragliding on it, I'd never seen that before.
There also seemed to be some camping grounds for in the summer. In the summer you could also go swimming and other aquatic sports, cycling, and hiking. I can only imagine how different it looks in the summer!
