The Rapides du Cheval Blanc known as the White Horse Rapids, traverse the waterways between the Island of Montreal, Pierrefonds-Roxboro, and Sainte-Dorothée in Laval, situated along the Rivière des Prairies in Quebec.[1] This natural phenomenon encompasses not only the rushing rapids but also encompasses a protected wooded area and a public city park, which abuts the rapids. Furthermore, the area is underlain by a significant fault line, contributing to its geological interest.

At the roundabout situated at the northern terminus of Source Boulevard, a prominent feature is the statue depicting a white horse.
Along the shoreline, various formations of rocks are observable, exhibiting distinct geological characteristics.
Notably, embedded within these rock formations are fossils, providing valuable insight into the area's geological history. The newspaper depicted in the photograph serves as a scale reference, aiding in the visualization of the size of the observed features.
