Trail bicycling

You are looking for a bicycle ride on a trail? Go to the Rivière à la Pêche area: a 55 km network with rest stops awaits you in the heart of the forest.

Trails offered

Note that the trails on which this activity is permitted are trails 3, 5, 6a, 7, 8, 9, 11, the Parkway, trail 6 between Bouchard lake and lac du Pimbina, and Vallerand Trail.

Recommendation
