Île-Bizard, Quebec

(Redirected from Île Bizard)

Île Bizard is an island near the Island of Montreal. It was formerly a separate municipality named Saint-Raphaël-de-l'Île-Bizard, but is now part of the city of Montreal.

The Jacques-Bizard bridge connects it across the Rivière des Prairies with Sainte-Geneviève on the Island of Montreal. There is also a very short ferry connection to Île Jésus (Laval), which does not operate in winter.

There is a large park in the interior of the island with nature trails. There is also a small beach at Pointe-aux-Carrières that faces the Lac des Deux-Montagnes . The Royal Montreal Golf Club is located on the island.

The population of the island is approximately 22,526.
