A huge and beautiful natural park outside the city (it's a 40-minute drive from our place). There is a beach where you can swim in the summer and beautiful hiking / cross-country trails through the forest. It's quite popular with locals and a great choice if you want to be in nature quickly without driving for hours to Mt Tremblant!
