Alfred Kelly Nature Reserve — Attraction in Prévost

Lovely nature park with trails of intermediate difficulty. Beautiful waterfall and lake. Be prepared for changes in elevation. I would recommend wearing hiking boots or other good shoes for climbing/outdoor activity. It is a pretty wild trail and not the easiest to navigate - infrequent map signage, but there are trailhead markers. There are also some nice signs about the local wildlife with QR codes. You may want to park at the parking lot next to "Entrée Alfred Kelly Nature Reserve" on Rue de la Station. We visited in mid-April, so there was still plenty of snow covering the forest and paths. The initial climb at the Entrée is steep and slippery when wet/snowy. The back entrance near Mnt Sauvage (where Google Maps brought me) also has a steep and wet descent, but not quite as laborous as the Entrée in my experience.

We completed the Paradise Lake Loop which is a moderate hike that took us approx 8km to complete. While completing this hike please be aware that there is a fair few steps, and some difficult terrain such as it being muddy in some areas.

The parking here is good, it can get quite busy, but it is free and accessible.

Beautiful reserve with a big lake. We encountered a few small animals, and there are fishes in the lake. Hike was moderate, not super hard nor super easy. Lots of other hikers, mostly couples, and some families with children. Dogs aren’t allowed, and the entrance is free.

If you park on the side of the Place du P’tit train du Nord, parking is free, but you can only park up to 3h there. However on the other side of the street, in the parking in front of Souvlaki 7, the parking is also free and - I think - without limit.

The only downside is that indication of the trails is not super obvious, but it was easy to figure out where to go to go back to the...
