Soulanges cycle path
The Soulanges cycle path goes along the canal on its first 23.5 kilometers (from Pointe-des-Cascades to Les Coteaux) and then continues in the Saint-Zotique and Rivière-Beaudette towns, for a total of 35 kilometers of asphalt road.
You’ll find along the way many halts with bicycle repair stations, sanitation facilities, furniture for you to relax and well-present signage to easily orient yourself.

Les Cèdres river shuttle :
The shuttle has ended its 2020 season, see you next May!
Dams :
Hydro-Québec is currently undertaking renovation works on the Saint-Timothée dams. These operations need periodic partial or complete closure of the cycle path, to ensure public and worker safety.
The cycle path on the Coteau-1, 2 and 3 dams will remain closed until further notice for the end of the structural works. However, an alternate route on the Monseigneur-Langlois bridge is now open for the summer season.
