Put this at the top of your list of things you must do in this beautiful city. For those of you who are runners, starting at the entrance on Rue Peel, running to the top of Mont Royal chateau then doing the loop above the chateau and the loop around the lake rounds out a 5 mile course if you're looking to get a little extra mileage in.
Very dog friendly if you want to bring your four legged friend. Most of the trek is dirt so leave your fashionable wedge sandals at home and bring your running shoes.
