Rivière-des-Prairies Generating Station
Rivière-des-Prairies generating station has stood proudly between the Montréal and Laval shores since the 1930s. Come learn about this run-of-river facility and the introduction of electricity in the Montréal region. Then, follow your guide to the turbine pit and spillway. You’re sure to be impressed by the water’s raw power. While you’re there, why not take advantage of the area’s recreational facilities? You can stretch your legs on the Montréal side’s bike path or walking trail, or do some fishing on the specially built platform across the river in Laval. Important: Visitors must comply with certain obligations. Be sure to read the Schedule and practical information section of our Web site. Limited space; reservations required
