Deux-Montagnes: Bike Paths, Water and Regional Experiences

River and lake scenery, bike paths and local experiences give Deux-Montagnes its character. The La Vagabonde cycling network runs along the Rivière des Mille-Îles and Lac des Deux-Montagnes. Parks, a restored locomotive and regional food culture offer more ways to discover the destination’s different sides. When choosing a vacation rental, you can first consider whether cycling, water sports, events or regional discoveries will shape your stay.

Cycling between river and lake

La Vagabonde passes through Saint-Eustache, Deux-Montagnes, Sainte-Marthe-sur-le-Lac, Oka and Saint-Placide. The route is suitable for cyclists of all levels; its paved, off-road course is considered safe and makes it especially family-friendly. This makes the route a clear point of reference for anyone planning to make cycling a focus of their trip.

At Parc linéaire Aimé-Struthers, a path runs along the Rivière des Mille-Îles and offers views of the river. A ramp is available for launching boats. La Marche d’Alphonse in Saint-Eustache offers a different perspective on the landscape: it leads through historic urban areas, rural landscapes, protected natural areas and small family-run agrotourism businesses.

Water sports, parks and getting there

At Parc du Centenaire, you can rent non-motorized boats such as kayaks, canoes and stand-up paddleboards. In 2026, rentals are free for Deux-Montagnes residents with a valid resident card. If you’re interested in spending a day on the water, you’ll find a specific rental option here; the boats listed are non-motorized.

At Parc Bélair, you’ll find the restored Canadian National Railway locomotive CN 6710. It recalls Deux-Montagnes’ railway history: the locomotive was in service for 75 years, until the railway network was modernized in the 1990s. This lets you combine a visit to a park with a tangible piece of local transportation history.

The city’s two REM stations are also relevant when planning your journey: they are called Deux-Montagnes and Grand-Moulin. Choose the location of your vacation rental with your planned arrival and the experiences that matter to you in mind.

Festivals and seasonal treats

The Festival de la galette in Vieux-Saint-Eustache features traditional music and dancing, storytelling and historical reenactments. If you’d like to include the festival in your travel plans, check the event dates in advance.

In Saint-Eustache, Cabane à sucre Constantin serves a traditional menu during maple syrup season, with unlimited servings of food prepared from scratch by the Constantin family. Check the seasonal dates for your travel period in advance. The offerings also include horse-drawn sleigh rides, a mini-farm and walking trails. Some activities are seasonal; reservations are required to visit the sugar shack’s evaporator facilities.

At Labonté de la pomme in Oka, you can pick your own from 25 varieties of fruit and vegetables throughout the year. What’s available to harvest varies by season. Cidrerie Lacroix in Saint-Joseph-du-Lac showcases apples through its ciders, orchard and dining options. Together with the maple syrup menu, these destinations offer a range of seasonal experiences to consider when planning your days.

The right vacation rental for your travel plans

When choosing a location, what matters most is which experiences will shape your stay: cycling on La Vagabonde, renting a non-motorized boat at Parc du Centenaire, attending a festival or enjoying seasonal harvest and dining experiences. The REM stations give you two specific station names to help orient your arrival. Check your vacation rental’s location in relation to the places and plans that actually matter for your trip.
