Pointe-Calumet

Its population as of the 2021 Canadian Census is just over 6000. Pointe-Calumet was declared a municipality in 1952 after being part of the Saint-Joseph-du-Lac parish where about 30 families were living prior of being a municipality. However, with the presence of numerous beaches nearby, visitors from the Montreal region visited the area on weekends. The town is located on the northern shore of the Ottawa River, the Rivière des Mille Îles, and the Lake of Two Mountains, all of which join the Saint Lawrence River, to its south, near the West Island of Montreal Island. Pointe-Calumet is accessible from the Montreal area and points east from Quebec Autoroute 640, which runs from Laval, Saint-Eustache, Terrebonne, and Repentigny. Quebec Route 344 also runs through the village and links the northern Montreal suburbs as well as the Grenville area, north of Hawkesbury, Ontario. Pointe-Calumet is also located near the Montreal commuter train that runs from Downtown Montreal to Deux-Montagnes.
