Halte des Prairies
Highlight • Rest Area
Halte des Prairies is a peaceful & scenic riverside rest area located along Boulevard des Prairies in Laval-des-Rapides. This tranquil spot is strategically located and serves as a gateway for cyclists and pedestrians exploring the region's natural beauty.
Notably, it is a key access point to Route Verte 1, Quebec's extensive & legendary cycling network that spans the province from Gatineau to the Îles-de-la-Madeleine.
🚴 Route Verte 1 and the 🌉 Perry Island Bridge Connection
Route Verte 1 runs directly through Halte des Prairies, making it a natural rest or departure point for cyclists. From here, Route Verte 1 continues over the Perry Island Bridge—a historic metal railway bridge that has been adapted for pedestrian and cyclist use that's easily accessible to them.
This bridge is officially part of Route Verte 1 and plays a crucial role in local transportation, providing a direct link & serving as a key crossing between Laval and Montreal over the Rivière des Prairies.
Adjacent to the bridge is Île Perry (often affectionately called “Île aux Fesses” by longtime residents & locals), a small island that offers a unique and picturesque transition between the two cities which is accessible via the bridge and offers opportunities for exploration and recreation.
🌳 Nearby Parks and Trails
Once across the Perry Island Bridge, visitors can explore Parc Bernard-Landry, a primarily forested area. With its forested trails and charming pond, it offers natural beauty and is perfect for a short break or nature walk.
This park provides a peaceful retreat for nature enthusiasts and complements the cycling experience along Route Verte 1.
🗺️ Planning Your Visit
Halte des Prairies offers a strategic and beautiful place to pause. It’s accessible by bike, foot, or public transit, and offers a smooth, scenic gateway into both Laval and Montreal via Route Verte 1. Whether you're embarking on a long-distance cycling journey or seeking a peaceful spot to enjoy nature, this rest area serves as an excellent starting point.
