These two magnificent rivers are well-known for the numerous islands that dot their waters. Between Lac Saint-Louis, at the western tip of the island, and the Pointe-aux-Trembles neighbourhood within the east, the St. Lawrence River, which flows to the Atlantic Ocean, runs alongside the southern shore of the island. In the LaSalle borough, it suddenly transforms into the tumultuous Lachine rapids. Between Lac des Deux Montagnes, at the western tip of the island, and the Rivièredes-Prairies district, within the east, the Rivière des Prairies runs along the northern shore of the island. Its flow is controlled by the Rivière-des-Prairies hydroelectric energy plant, in the Sault-au-Récollet sector.
