BIKE PATHS
Quebec is fertile ground... for bike paths! Great networks link a number of cities and the Route Verte greenbelt runs province-wide... so awaken your inner athlete! Hop off the ferry and right onto the bike path junction ...
IN MONTREAL
From the Quays of the Old Port of Montreal, you can choose from three bike paths. You could
take Route Verte # 5 on the Island of Montreal east to west along the St.
Lawrence River. Or you could take Route Verte # 1 that crosses the city from
north to south. What an original way to explore Montreal! If you'd rather ride
along the Lachine canal, the 11.5 km canal path runs from the Quays of the Old Port of
Montreal to Lake St. Louis. In fact, this is the most popular bike path in Canada,
attracting some 1 million users every year!
ÎLE STE-HÉLÈNE (JEAN-DRAPEAU PARK)
Why struggle through traffic to Île Ste-Hélène (Jean-Drapeau Park): simply take the river
shuttle from Montreal or Longueuil! By bike, on foot or skates, three trails
totaling 15 km are yours to discover! Explore the Gilles-Villeneuve trail, ride
around the Olympic Basin or through the Floralies gardens. You can even tour
the entire island! Have fun!
FARES
This inexpensive shuttle service takes you quickly from shore to shore. It's
the perfect summer mass transit option! Take advantage of the fixed rate of
$5 (taxes included) per crossing when you buy the Inter-Rives pass. The gas price hike
surcharge (when in effect) does not apply to pass purchases. What a great
money saver! This discount also applies to Accès-Montréal cards.
