Summit Woods

All dogs go to Summit Woods, if dogs can have their dream come true. Summit woods is at the center of residence of WestMount and Montreal, on the hill. As soon as I walked into the wood from Summit Ave, I came into contact with dogs and dogs, so many of them. Is Montreal a cosmopolitan of dogs? Seem like it, there are so many different breeds I never saw before. They are beautiful and well trained. It worth the trip just to go and meet dogs.It is unfortunate that the lookout overlooking St Laurent River is closed because of structure issue. I am not able to enjoy a full view of the city below. I enjoyed the walk in the wood so much and it made you totally forget about the city.

What a beautiful hidden gem! Lots of people though but definitely worth a visit. We went in autumn and the leaves were magnificent! Dog friendly and lots of short walking trails.

It's a very old-school lookout. I enjoy every time that I come. At least for the last 50 odd years already

We were looking for a spot to watch winter solstice sunset. Pretty good even though the view is not expansive due to trees and very big houses.

Vast trails to walk or run around. They all connect to one another. Busier in the early mornings but after 10am, it’s quiet and peaceful.You do not need a dog to be here. The trees are majestic with different shapes and curved mysteries.The sound of the birds.. occasional snake slithering by is surreal.It’s my peaceful haven.Advice: Wear comfortable shoes as the trails are not manicured to perfection. They are dusty, a perfect dog’s kingdom.

Summit Wood is a wonderful place to resource in Montreal, with about 20 hectares of urban forest it is a great place for a walk.The great thing is you can start at the summit lookout, which is a great viewpoint of the city (you can also see downtown) then after walking through the woods you can end your visit at l’Oratoire Saint-Joseph.

Unfortunately, that’s the only place in CDN area where you can walk you dog off leash.The park is great especially in winter time when you can let the dogs run around all day long! 1-2 rounds is more than enough for a good start of the day for you and your dog!

It's a nice place to walk after trudging up the twists and turns to the top of the hill. Many rich folk live nearby and it's fun to gawk at their luxurious abodes. The roads are still uniquely terrible as you would expect from Montreal. I would walk there again for sure.

Excellent park for walking the dog and getting exercise! You need a West Mount dog license, available online!

If you have a dog you NEED to try this space. Lots of space to run many trails, secluded from traffic (note that it is not a fenced park so ensure your dog has recall skills) and all dogs who come are always nice. Sunsets are beautiful also
