    Wonderful eco-park or bio-reserve on the far end of Nun's…read moreIsland. 26 Hectares of woodland, swamps, wetlands and pond/lake for walking, thru, bird-watching, and forest bathing. You'll see ducks, heron, cormorants, turtles, some fish, and many other birds here hanging about but like all wildlife, it can be hit or miss. Nun's Island is a bit of a bedroom community but the Domaine's hiking/walking paths link up the main Lac Des Battures with the other ponds and streams on the island, many of them behind the elegant townhouses and homes here. In the wetlands area, there is an elevated wooden walkway and here you'll see wild mushrooms and trilliums in the springs. Given the size of some of the tree bases, I'd say some of the trees are well over 100 years old. Bikes are NOT allowed here given that it's a delicate and fragile ecosystem. I saw one obnoxious guy here show up on his bike claiming he "wasn't sure if bikes are allowed here or not" when there are very clear signs indicating as much at the entrances of the park. He clearly knew they weren't allowed, but he just did it anyway. Keep quiet by the lake, loud noises and voices scare off the animals. I've also seen some pretty obnoxious loudmouths here who seem to think they can conduct networking parties here . The number 12 bus comes close enough and then you have some walking to do to get into the heart of the park.

    This is hands-down, one of the BEST city parks I've been to. In terms of the sheer scope of…read moreactivities and expansive trails in the middle of a city, Mount Royal Park is a true marvel. The ascent to the top can be taxing if you take the pathway that includes the stairs. I would recommend taking one of the trails up to pace yourself and enjoy the journey to the scenic views. The park was designed by Frederick Law Olmsted, the legendary Landscape Architect who also designed New York's Central Park, and the grounds for Stanford...the impressive list goes on. You really get the impression that this park was thoughtfully designed and planned to harmonize with the native species of plants. There are two Belvederes where you can view the city. We ventured up to Kondiaronk Belvedere and were treated to sweeping views of the city. If you are looking for a postcard-perfect view of Montreal, this is it! Mount Royal Park is a must-do and was definitely one of the highlights of our Canadian trip. Don't miss this park, it's immersive qualities are outstanding and your are rewarded with incredible views if you persevere to the top!

    Warning: Be Prepared for Pain for Up to 5 Days Afterwards…read more The park was lovely with lovely rolling hills and picnic areas, and I could see the fish in the ponds at the edges. There were paved paths up the hill to the top of the park. It was a lot of hilly inclines but there were a few benches along the way. At the top at the chalet, there is a nice view of Montreal over the trees. There is a large building up the stairs where you can go down the stairs to the bathrooms. We took the stairs all the way down to McGill University and down more hills to our hotel farther in the city. Chatgpt said there is between 339 to 525 steps depending on how you come out. I was totally amazed as you turn the corner, how many other flights of steps there were. There is no way, I would have made it up the stairs. The wooden stairs were of the same color, no color stripe marking the edges, so for someone with progressive glasses, it made it hard to see where each step ended to go to the next one. I looked more to the edges to see the outline to know. I would have really have hated taking the stairs in the dusk when it was darker or overcast. When we sightsee, I can walk 20,000 - 25,000 steps a day; however with that number of stairs then all the hills from McGill University down to our hotel, my legs felt it that night. The next day, my calves were badly cramping and knotted up for several days afterwards, so I am glad we visited at the end of our trip, not at the beginning. It took 5 days before I could walk without pain. If you decide to go, make sure you do it at the end of your trip or your calves and legs are really stretched out and strong.
