I’ve been doing some rail trails on the “green roads” (routes vertes) to visit my parents for the last three weekends and I stopped at the park for overnights as I didn’t want to cycle the full 140 km in one shot and then back. It’s getting greener!

The Yamaska National Park is a small park located around a reservoir in southern Québec. From there it’s possible to access multiple rail trails and “linear parks” going in all directions.

    It’s about 90 km from Montreal to the park, using dedicated trails mostly on a disused tramway line.

    Here’s some pictures of that route:

    There is also another itinerary following the Chambly canal then another disused rail line from St-Jean-Sur-Richelieu but I never tried it yet.

    And here are the two other pictures of the camp sites I got in the park for previous weeks. We can clearly see the difference in the foliage!

    Then, from the park, I cycle a bit more (40 km) on another rail trail to my destination. And back! It’s a really nice place for rail trails. I’m glad summer is back!
