De parcs en rivières
Presentation
28 km of shaded natural areas, heritage districts and residential areas, with beautiful views of nature or the water and friendly options for stops, restaurants or picnics. As you cross the Saint-Maurice River, you'll be treated to a respite with a superb view, by boarding the bateau-passeur (free). At Plage-Idéale park in the Lac-à-la-Tortue sector, it's time to return to your starting point, taking different routes for certain sections. A free pontoon boat provides a safe way to cross the river.
