Shevlin park is somewhere we would visit every summer growing up when visiting family in the area. They have great trails, fishing, picnicking, and even slow spots where you can get in the water. Shevlin park has a teepee that you can check out and go inside of, they have more than one trail, good for bike riding, dog walking, fishing. I remember having picnics here as a kid and I still come back as an adult when in the area. They trails are low impact and fairly flat.

Great dog park. I have a Rottie puppy (90 lbs of puppy) and we'll drive from Terrebonne once a week just to come out here. There's a large natural walking trail (trails) within the fenced in dog park (extremely large) and a field for open play. Fantastic option for people working to socialize there dog.
