Corridor du Littoral Bike Ride

From the Old Port you follow the paved path east along the St. Lawrence, past the mouth of the Saint-Charles River, Domaine de Maizerets and the Baie de Beauport, to the foot of Montmorency Falls. It is a mostly flat riverside path; the full corridor runs 48 km from Saint-Augustin-de-Desmaures to the falls.

Getting ready for it

Time in the saddle matters more than speed.

If you have not ridden for a while, do two or three rides of an hour or two first so your legs and your seat are used to it.

Staying safe

  • Wear bright clothing and use lights wherever there is traffic.
  • Check your brakes and tyres before you leave.
