What visitors say
Aventure Mille-Îles rents kayaks, canoes and other small craft for exploring the islands and winding channels of the Rivière des Mille Îles in Laval. Paddlers describe it as a fun day out close to Montreal, with a real sense of adventure once you're out among the islands.
Practical facilities get good marks: restrooms, lockers for your belongings, and free parking. Several reviewers say prices are reasonable and the equipment is in good shape, and booking can be done online. One family said there are activities in both summer and winter.
Wildlife is a big part of the appeal. Visitors mention ducks, herons, turtles, otters, foxes and catfish. One paddler noted that traffic noise from the Highway 15 bridge fades the further you get from it.
Not everyone felt looked after. One visitor found staff uninterested and was given no map or route advice, and another arriving about 50 minutes before closing was turned away. Arrive well before closing, and bring a waterproof case or map app since phones and directions are up to you.
