Beautiful rides in mostly flat, rural areas only a short drive from Montreal. Riders can do a longer early-season route without worrying about hills. The shortest route is 50 km (with 100 meters of climb) and starts along a bike path, then follows the Chateauguay River, and returns along Lac St Louis. The 70 km route (98 m climb) goes in the opposite direction, following Lac St Louis and then the Beauharnois Canal before circling back through farming areas and along the Chateauguay River. The longer rides (82 km with 144 m climb; 93 km and 126 m) also have lake and riverside stretches but go further south before returning. Satisfying pub stop on Ile St Bernard to finish off the day.
