Rapides du Cheval Blanc, Natural rapids in Pierrefonds-Roxboro, Canada
The rapids flow between Montreal Island and Sainte-Dorothée through the Rivière des Prairies, creating a dynamic water display over rock formations.
During the 18th century, local tales emerged about a white horse that appeared from the Rivière des Prairies and caused disturbances in nearby villages.
The protected area serves as an educational site where visitors learn about Quebec's geological formations and discover fossils embedded in riverside rocks.
Access to the rapids requires street parking, as there are no designated lots, and visitors should note the absence of restroom facilities.
A statue of a white horse stands at Source Boulevard's northern end, commemorating the legends that gave these rapids their name.
