Tips

  • For the first time visitors just to let you know there is a Montreal F1 race circuit is this beautiful resort inside. 
  • Which is surrounded by a freshwater lake with sandy beach and lake floor and probably no more than 5ft deep in the main swimming area. Its safe swimming and well supervised by the lifeguards with limited areas for groups of younger children on 'day camp'.
  • Entry fees are reasonable ($9 for adults and half price for 13 and under), but parking outside is costly ($13 for 2 hours or $18 for all day) approx which makes it an expensive outing.
  • As expected, food and drink onsite are available but you pay for the privilege so my it’s best to pack up some snacks for your visit. 
  • Its a great weather good to lie in the sun on the grass. Picnic tables are scattered around but are quickly reserved with bags whilst their owners sit on the beach or in the shade nearby. 
  • Sharing doesn't seem to be the norm. Seats and umbrellas are available at a price if required. So Happy Good day relaxing.
