The island also includes the former hydraulic installations, l'île du Cheval-de-Terre, which is connected to Laval by the Rivière des Prairies generating station, as well as a wooded area left intact along the Rivière des Prairies.

In order to control the force of the current, the Sulpician landlords connected the island to the shore by a causeway.

The Maison du Pressoir was built in 1806 by Didier Joubert who used it to press apples into cider.
