Le parc-nature de l'Île-de-la-Visitation est un grand parc situé à Montréal, dans Ahuntsic-Cartierville et Montréal-Nord. En fait partie l'île de la Visitation, les anciennes installations hydrauliques, abandonnées aujourd'hui, l'île du Cheval-de-Terre, reliée à Laval par la centrale de la Rivière-des-Prairies, ainsi qu'un boisé laissé à l'état naturel en bordure de la rivière des Prairies.

Le parc a été constitué en 1984 lors de la rénovation de l'évacuateur de crues de la Centrale de la Rivière-des-Prairies. Il a une superficie de 34 hectares.

Histoire

Cette île, dénommée Branchereau jusqu'en 1750, emprunte sa dénomination à la paroisse de la Visitation-de-la-Bienheureuse-Vierge-Marie fondée en 1736. Les sulpiciens, seigneurs des lieux, dans le but de maîtriser la force du courant, la relient à la rive par une digue. Entre 1724 et 1726, Simon Sicar, ingénieur, érige la digue, et construit un moulin à scie près de l'île. Il construit ensuite un moulin en pierre pour moudre le grain, un autre pour carder la laine.

En 1785, l'île est arpentée puis concédée.
