Mirabel: Heritage, Forest Trails and Maple

When looking for a hotel in Mirabel, you can tailor your stay to different interests: heritage, forest trails, or maple products and local goods. Mirabel offers historic homes, natural areas with walking trails, and activities centred on maple and local products. This lets you decide during the planning stage which themes will be the focus of your trip.

Historic Homes and Mirabel’s History

The Domaine et manoir de Belle-Rivière includes an imposing residence built in 1804. The estate also includes wooded grounds and areas along the banks of the Belle-Rivière. Its historical value gives the Domaine cultural and historical significance; it also bears witness to the seigneurial system. Here, architectural history and the landscape are connected to a specific historic site.

Another residence with a history of its own is the Maison Jean-Joseph-Girouard. Built in 1840, it has a Georgian appearance and is classified as a heritage building. Its history recalls events associated with the rebellions: the Maison was rebuilt on the foundations of its first house. That first house was burned down during the looting of Saint-Benoît in December 1837, under the direction of Sir John Colborne. As well as its architecture, the Maison’s history therefore offers a specific connection to the events of 1837.

Forest, Walking Trails and Cycling Connection

The Parc régional éducatif du Bois-de-Belle-Rivière covers a 176-hectare natural area with mixed forest and an old maple grove. The park has 10 kilometres of walking trails. This distance can help you plan a nature getaway; however, conditions may vary from trail to trail. If you plan to explore on foot, take this possible variation into account when planning your day.

Another option is the cycling trail in Parc du Domaine Vert. It crosses the park from east to west, connects Mirabel and Blainville, and continues to the Le P’tit Train du Nord linear park. This distinguishes the 10 kilometres of walking trails in Bois-de-Belle-Rivière from a cycling connection through Parc du Domaine Vert: the figures refer to different parks and different ways of getting around.

Maple, Market and Local Products

Mirabel fête l’érable du Québec is an annual festival organized by the Parc régional du Bois-de-Belle-Rivière. It focuses on maple products and the traditions associated with them. Festival details may change; check the current event information for specific dates.

At Intermiel, honey and maple products are offered at the tasting counter. The mini-farm is reserved exclusively for customers of the boutique and guided tours. The tasting selection and access rules may change; check the current conditions before visiting.

In 2026, the Marché du Terroir de Mirabel is an indoor public market at Carrefour Bleu, open year-round from Tuesday to Sunday. The boutique gives producers and processors from Mirabel a place to sell their products; maple products are sold there year-round. Since these details apply to 2026, check the current opening days and selection before travelling.
