Parc national des Îles-de-Boucherville is located on the St. Lawrence River on the south shore of Montreal to Quebec. It includes a string of islands once used for agriculture and vacationing. The park is recognized for its developed cycling network, its kayaking circuits and its public golf course. White-tailed deer, numerous on the islands, are easily observed in all seasons, as are red foxes and gray squirrels.
Each year the park is visited by 295,000 visitors on average. It is accessible year round, but the river shuttles are out of service during the winter season. Only Île Sainte-Marguerite is accessible by road during the winter.
