Admire the shoreline on a stroll
Stretch your legs and discover the breathtaking scenery of the St. Lawrence on the Promenade-Fleuve. Twenty kilometres long, this network is perfect for nature and photography enthusiasts, with 11 walking trails that run through five municipalities. It’s a great way to see plantlife and wildlife that thrives on the shoreline.
The trails on the river are accessible only at low tide or ebb tide. To avoid being caught out by the high tide, it is recommended to start your walk before the tide reaches its lowest point.
At the start of each trail, an information terminal provides details on the tide clock, instructions and the natural environment for an immersive experience.
Plan your next hike
Because one hike is not enough, there are hundreds of kilometres of trails in Portneuf to delight hiking and discovery enthusiasts.
