Saint-Lazare Pine Forest

Highlight • Forest

Covering approximately 14 square kilometres, the Saint-Lazare Pine Forest is one of the largest forested areas in the Vaudreuil-Soulanges region. The sandy soils support extensive pine woodland, creating a landscape that feels noticeably different from many other forests in southern Québec. The forest's trail network provides opportunities for hiking, skiing, snowshoeing, and wildlife observation throughout the year.

Trail 5

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

At 9.9 kilometres, Trail 5 is the longest route in Forestiers Park and offers a deeper exploration of the Saint-Lazare Pine Forest than the shorter loops. The trail extends to the edge of the park, passing through long stretches of woodland that showcase the scale of this forested landscape. Several picnic tables are scattered along the route, providing convenient places to take a break and enjoy the quiet surroundings before continuing your walk.

Red River

Highlight • River

Originating in Saint-Lazare, the Rivière Rouge winds south through the Vaudreuil-Soulanges region before emptying into the St. Lawrence River at Coteau-du-Lac. Along its course, the river helps drain the sandy landscapes of the Saint-Lazare Pine Forest and surrounding countryside. While modest in size, it forms an important part of the region's watershed and adds a natural water feature to the predominantly forested landscape.
