Parc des Rapides
The Lachine Rapids are a series of rapids located between the Island of Montreal and the south shore of the St. Lawrence River. The rapids contain large standing waves that are an important part of the city’s history. Early explorers were unable to navigate through the rapids by boat, so permanent posts were established above and below the rapids.
