Built in the 1930s, Rivière-des-Prairies generating station stands proudly between the Montréal and Laval banks.
Learn the history of this run-of-river facility and visit a turbine pit and spillway. You're sure to be impressed by the water's raw power!
While you're there, why not take advantage of the station's recreational facilities? Stretch your legs on the bike path and walking trail on the Montréal side, or do some fishing off the specially built platform across the river in Laval.
A great way to enjoy the outdoors and learn something too!
