Îles-de-Boucherville National Park
IUCN category II (national park)
LocationBoucherville / Longueuil, Quebec, Canada

Îles-de-Boucherville National Park is a provincial park along the Saint Lawrence river in the province of Quebec.[1] Located on the South Shore of Montreal, near the suburb of Boucherville, the park comprises a handful of islands formerly used for agriculture and vacationing and now home to wetlands, bike paths, kayak circuits, cross-country ski trails, and public golf courses. Wildlife can be readily observed in all seasons, including the white-tailed deer, red fox, and the grey squirrel.

After the area was targeted for real-estate development in the 1970s, the provincial government acquired the islands and created the park in 1984. It is administered by Sépaq, the Société des établissements de plein air du Québec, which manages several Quebec parks and wildlife refuges. All provincial parks in Quebec have used the term "national park" since 2002, but there is no connection to the federal national park system, administered by Parks Canada.
