Teasing the fish, in winter? Yes! On a frozen lake or river, ice fishing is an absolutely extraordinary experience. All you need is to dress warm… unless you handle your fishing rod (traditionally called a “brimbale”) at one of the many sites that are equipped with heated shelters. The fish are always ready to bite. Whether you are a beginner or a savvy angler, with family or friends, everyone has fun fishing in the middle of winter in Quebec.
Minutes from Montreal, come discover unique Parc de la Rivière des Mille Îles.

In winter, try ice fishing, snowshoeing or cross-country skiing and in summer, paddle its waterways in a canoe, kayak or rabaska canoe. Hike countless walking trails and visit the interpretation centre too. The Tourisme Laval visitor area is a genuine oasis in nature, at the gateway to the big city.
