Mont-Saint-Bruno National Park, National park in Saint-Bruno-de-Montarville, Canada.
Mont-Saint-Bruno National Park is a protected area of about 8.8 square kilometers with a mountain rising roughly 218 meters (715 feet) above sea level. The territory contains five lakes and a network of hiking trails for exploration.
The Government of Quebec acquired the mountain land in 1976 and established the national park in 1985. Management was transferred to Sépaq in 1999, which has overseen the site since then.
The Brothers of Christian Instruction left behind educational buildings and an arboretum on the mountain during the early twentieth century. Visitors can still notice the influence of this religious community in the structures and planted trees around the site.
The park maintains roughly 35 kilometers of groomed trails for classic and skate skiing between December and March, with equipment rentals available on-site. Visitors should choose the best time based on whether they prefer hiking or winter sports.
The park's water system supplies drinking water to the municipality of Saint-Bruno-de-Montarville. Meanwhile, the territory is home to over 570 plant species and more than 230 bird species.
