Enjoy waterfront views
Start out near the Jacques-Cartier Bridge and head along the waterfront through several parks, enjoying views of downtown Montreal and the St. Lawrence River. Just off the Trail, you’ll find the neighbourhood of Vieux Longueuil, which offers up cafés, restaurants and shops if you’re in the mood to peruse the goods or stop for a snack.

Pause at the park
The trail continues to the south alongside Parc Michel-Chartrand, a sizeable city park that features a pond, wooded areas and more. In the winter months, cross-country ski or bring the little ones to the epic sledding hill. In the warmer months, walk in the wooded section of the park, keeping an eye out for birds and deer that live in the park. Or, head over to the pond or playground areas to keep the kids happy.
