Bois de l'Île Bizard: Escape the City Without Actually Leaving the City
Cheaper and arguably as rejuvenating as a day at the spa, there's no Montreal park quite like Bois de l'Île Bizard, a striking 201 hectares (497 acres) of woods, beach and wetlands located on Île Bizard, an island northwest of Montreal just above the West Island.

Visitors can easily spend a whole day discovering the park's nooks and crannies: start the morning birdwatching while exploring Bois de l'Île Bizard's marshes, swamps and woods before retiring to the beachfront for an afternoon of picnicking, sunbathing, canoeing and swimming in Lac des Deux Montagnes (a.k.a., Lake of Two Mountains). In the winter, the star-shaped park turns into a picturesque cross-country skiing destination.
