LOWER ST. LAWRENCE

Studded with islands and islets, bathed by river spray and bracing salt-sea air, this region does not just run alongside the river, it is the river—or the sea, as the locals refer to it. You can see why along the Littoral basque bikeway, which practically dips into the St. Lawrence, and the Route des Doux Pays, near Rivière-Ouelle, where you might just get your feet wet as you pedal!

Crowned by the unusual diadems of the Parc national du Bic and graced with delightful inns, renowned restaurants and age-old smokehouses, the Lower St. Lawrence region is also home to numerous picturesque villages. The back country, dotted with peaks and lakes, is traversed by the famous Parc linéaire interprovincial Petit-Témis, which allows you to explore 130 kilometres of terrain beginning in Rivière-du-Loup. This former railway line skirts the Madawaska River and the beaches of Lake Témiscouata, then crosses into New Brunswick and continues on as far as Edmundston.

In addition to the Route verte, the region has plenty of other sites where you can test your cycling mettle, including the Route des moulins, which begins in Saint-Pascal, and the Domaine du Canyon des Portes de l’Enfer (literally, “the gates of hell canyon estate”)— a paradise for mountain bikers.
