The Grand-Moulin dam is built at the outlet of Deux-Montagnes Lake.
It connects the Laval-West district in Laval to the city of Deux-Montagnes.
This dam marks the border between Deux-Montagnes Lake and the Mille-îles River.
It serves as a pedestrian bridge where one can see the Turcotte Island wildlife refuge while enjoying the upstream, eastern Calumet Bay of Deux-Montagnes Lake.
It also serves as a bicycle path where it provides a link for the urban cycling network with three of the largest islands in the archipelago, namely the Island of Montreal, Bizard Island and the Island of Laval.
The Grand-Moulin dam is designed to control flooding on the Mille Îles River and the flow of its tributary, Deux-Montagnes lake.

Canoe Rentals at Parc de la Rivière-des-Mille-Îles

Launch straight into the Rivière des Mille Îles from the park's main rental centre and explore a maze of islands, marshes, and quiet waterways at your own pace. Canoes, kayaks, paddleboards, rowboats, and rabaskas are available to rent for three-hour blocks or a full day on a first-come, first-served basis. Your rental also helps support the conservation of the river's unique ecosystems and wildlife, making it a great way to experience the park from the water.
