Presentation

Practices :
Cycle touring
Gravel bike

With miles of trails to ride and fields as far as the eye can see, Pontiac offers cyclists the best of both worlds! Ride sometimes through bountiful nature, sometimes through places steeped in history and culture. Gourmet stops along the way will whet your appetite! The route is divided between Quebec and Ontario. On the Quebec side, it's an old railroad line converted into a bike path (rock dust). On the Ontario side, it's country roads.

Cultural or historical attractions
Mansfield-et-Pontefract

The Marchand covered bridge, the longest covered bridge in Quebec, was built in 1898 by Augustus Brown of Beachburg. The 153-metre structure replaced two older bridges spanning the Coulonge River and linking the lumber camp on one shore to the village of Fort Coulonge on the other. Built entirely of pine and held up by six wooden pillars, the one-way bridge was covered so that it wouldn’t rot.
