Parc Linéaire des Rivières Saint-Charles et du Berger

Parc Linéaire des Rivières Saint-Charles et du Berger

This linear park consists of a network of walking and cycling paths that follow the course of the Saint-Charles and Berger rivers through Quebec City. It provides 32 kilometers of paved trails, making it a functional space for those looking to exercise, bike, or walk along the waterfront away from city traffic.

Getting There

The park is accessible from the city centre via local bus routes or a short drive. Depending on which entry point you choose, it typically takes 5 to 15 minutes to reach the trails from the downtown core.

Time Commitment

The amount of time required depends on the distance you intend to cover. A short stroll along a specific section can take one hour, while cycling a significant portion of the 32-kilometer network will require several hours.

When to Visit

The park is used year-round, though the experience varies by season; paths are used for walking and cycling in warmer months and for winter activities when snow covers the trails. Early mornings and weekdays are generally quieter than weekends, when the paths can become crowded with local residents.

  • Cartier-Brébeuf National Historic Site (0.3km)
