Things to Do

On the shores of Lac Saint-Louis, Village des Écluses offers beachside relaxation with unbeatable lake views just 40 minutes from Montreal. Set on a heritage estate where the Soulanges Canal meets the river, this free-entry beach has soft sand, calm water, and plenty of charm. Visitors can rent paddleboards, kayaks, or even try surfing, then unwind on the large covered terrace with craft beer and live music on Thursdays. Beyond the beach, there are hiking and cycling paths, camping options, and cultural events all summer long.
