Everything about Rivi Re Des Prairies totally explained
The
Rivière des Prairies (literally
River of the Meadows, sometimes called the
Back River in English) is a delta channel of the
Ottawa River in southwestern
Quebec,
Canada.
Flowing west to east, it bisects the
Hochelaga Archipelago and rises in the
Lac des Deux-Montagnes. It flows on either side of
Île Bizard (part of Montreal), it then divides the
Island of Montreal (
Montreal) to the south from
Île Jésus (
Laval) to the north, after which it flows into the
Saint Lawrence River at the eastern tip of the Island of Montreal.
The river contains a large number of islands, including Île Bizard, the
Îles Laval (Île Bigras, Île Pariseau, Île Verte and Île Ronde) belonging to Laval, and
Île de la Visitation, a nature
park belonging to Montreal. The
Rapides du Cheval Blanc are located downstream from the Îles Laval, in the portion of the river separating the
borough of
Pierrefonds-Roxboro in Montreal from
Sainte-Dorothée in Laval.
Historically, the river received massive discharges of untreated
liquid waste from Montreal, turning it into essentially an open sewer; however, ecological intervention and modern sewage treatment techniques reversed the damage and the river is now considered clean, however, still not suitable for swimming.
