What a fabulous nature getaway and it's so close to Montreal. Laval is known for its green spaces - Parc des Crecerelles being one of them It's sweet and small.
***The Bois de l'Équerre team was finally able to offer its visitors a trail based on the principles of universal accessibility. Phase 1 of this 1.3 km long project obtained Kéroul (Destination pour tous) certification.
This Accessible and Senior Friendly Trail (SAADA) has been developed to facilitate access, among others, to people with reduced mobility and seniors to allow them to fully enjoy the benefits of this natural environment. SAADA further strengthens the city of Laval's status as an age-friendly municipality and the Corporation for the Development of Bois de l'Équerre is proud to be able to contribute to this recognition.
Nice views!
