Rivière-des-Prairies
Generating Station

 
Build between 1928 and 1930

NOTE: Visitors aged 18 years and over must present identification (health insurance card, driver's licence or passport) before they can tour the facility.

Educational and entertaining!


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!

  • Visit inside and outside Rivière-des-Prairies generating station, just as if you were there — get a 360-degree view.
