The Maison Valois, located within the park, dates back to approximately 1775, representing early French-Canadian rural architecture.
The property was formerly part of a significant seigneurial land grant during the New France era.
The park provides direct access to the Vaudreuil-Dorion section of the trans-regional cycling network.
The waterfront area is a recognized migration stopover point for various species of waterfowl along the Lake of Two Mountains corridor.
Valois House Park, located on the shores of the Lake of Two Mountains in Vaudreuil-Dorion, is a historic waterfront green space anchored by the restored 18th-century Maison Valois. The park features a blend of natural shoreline vegetation and maintained lawns providing panoramic water views. It serves as a focal point for the city's outdoor municipal programming and community events. The site integrates recreational paths suitable for walking and cycling with access to the water's edge. Preservation of the architectural heritage of the Maison Valois remains the primary function of the property. Visitors can access public park benches and open green spaces oriented toward the lake. The grounds are part of a larger network of municipal parks that emphasize local cultural history.

Bring binoculars to observe the waterfowl activity along the shoreline.
Check the municipal website's interactive map for active event schedules before arriving, as the park occasionally closes to the public for private or civic festivals.
Utilize the walking trails that connect this park to the adjacent waterfront pathways for a longer excursion.
Do not attempt to swim from the shoreline as there is no lifeguard supervision and currents can be unpredictable.
The park grounds are generally open year-round, though specific pathways may be restricted during winter snow removal; the interior of the house has limited public access.
Stay on marked trails to protect the shoreline vegetation; leashed pets are permitted in designated areas.
