Lavigne Natural Park Description
Water levels are still rising, which is causing flooding in low lying roads, parkland, and nearby properties. In some areas, flooded roads could limit access, and a small number of properties may see water approaching homes.
For your safety:
• Avoid rivers, streams, and other watercourses where flows are high
• Stay well back from shorelines, as banks may be unstable
• Parents and caregivers: please talk to children about the dangers and supervise them closely near all waterbodies
The City of Clarence Rockland has set up three sandbag filling locations to assist residents who need them:
Voisine Road – near the road entrance
Pago Road – vacant lot near civic number 450
Wilson Road – vacant lot near civic number 243
Starting Monday, March 9, 2026, seasonal load restrictions will be in effect to protect municipal roads during the spring thaw. Vehicles exceeding posted half-load limits require a permit, and fines may apply if one is not obtained.

At the request of a group of volunteers of Lavigne Road, Lavigne Natural Park was inaugurated on December 8, 2007 by the City of Clarence-Rockland. This land of 100 acres, located just northwest of Bourget, is a real natural beauty. The park is a protected area where animals, vegetation and birds can develop naturally and live peacefully. During the warm seasons, visitors can enjoy more than 10 km of trails. In winter, more than 5 km of cross-country ski trails and more than 6 km of snowshoe and walking trails are maintained. A parking lot has also been setup by the City at the park entrance on Marcil Road.
The Lavigne Natural Park was named in honor of the family of Mr. and Mrs. Léon and Georgiana Lavigne owners of this land at the turn of the 20th century. Some of the foundations of their residence are still visible in the park. This land was eventually sold to the village of Bourget for the installation of the municipal water system.
Access to the trails is FREE. Trails are maintained by volunteers and have a difficulty rating of easy and intermediate with a few steep hills identified with arrows on the map. Ski trails are identified in red and snowshoe / walking trails in yellow. On the map, easy trails are identified in green and are ideal for a family outing in nature.
A Map of the trails is placed at the entrances and at strategic locations throughout the Park.
Bicycles/Fatbikes are prohibited in the park. People that want to ride a bicycle/Fatbike are invited to use the trails in Larose Forest where the trails are designed and maintained for Bicycles/Fatbikes.
All ski trails are for classic style skiing and are groomed regularly, even on weekends. They are generally accessible from December to March depending on snow conditions. In winter, we ask people to respect the signage and specially NOT to walk or snowshoe on the cross-country ski trails to avoid damaging them.
Dogs are welcomed in the park as long as they are kept on leash at all times and that their poops are picked-up. In winter, dogs are only allowed on the walking and snowshoeing trails.
