  • The Rivière des Prairies (literally River of the Meadows or Prairies, sometimes called the Back River in English) is a delta channel of the Ottawa River in southwestern Quebec, Canada. Flowing west to east, it bisects the Hochelaga Archipelago and rises in the Lac des Deux-Montagnes. It flows on either side of Île Bizard (part of Montreal), it then divides the Island of Montreal to the south from Île Jésus to the north, after which it flows into the St. Lawrence River at the eastern tip of the Island of Montreal. The river contains a large number of islands, including Île Bizard, the Îles Laval (Île Bigras, Île Pariseau, Île Verte and Île Ronde) belonging to Laval, and Île de la Visitation, a nature park belonging to Montreal. The Rapides du Cheval Blanc are located downstream from the Îles Laval, in the portion of the river separating the borough of Pierrefonds-Roxboro in Montreal from Sainte-Dorothée in Laval. Historically, the river received massive discharges of untreated liquid waste from Montreal, turning it into essentially an open sewer; however, ecological intervention and modern sewage treatment techniques reversed the damage and the river is now considered clean,and suitable for swimming.
  • La Rivière des Prairies (Río de las Praderas) es un curso de agua situado entre la Isla de Montreal y la Île Jésus. Nace en el Lac des Deux Montagnes para desembocar en el río San Lorenzo. La Rivière des Prairies se conocía antiguamente bajo el nombre de Skawanoti, que significa en hurón el río de detrás de la isla. Es Samuel de Champlain el que rebautizará el río, en honor a uno de sus compañeros, François des Prairies, que se perdió en una expedición. Los anglófonos han retomado la denominación amerindia y nombran a este curso de agua Back River.

  • Riviere des Prairies (Râul Păşunilor) este un curs de apă situat între Insula Montreal şi Île Jesus. Izvorăşte din Lacul Deux Montagnes pentru ca apoi să se verse în râul Fluviul Sf. Laurenţiu. Riviere des Prairies se numea înainte Skawanoti, care înseamnă în limba amerindienilor huron râul din spatele insulei. Samuel de Champlain a schimbat numele râului, în onoarea unui prieten, François des Prairies, pe care l-a pierdut într-o expediţie. Anglofonii au reluat numele pe care-l foloseau ameridienii şi numesc acest curs de apă Back River.
