Mobility

Getting to Fat bike trail

To make it easier to get around, here is the exact location of the Fat bike trail at Parc Jean-Drapeau posted on Google Maps.

Jean-Drapeau Subway Station

The Jean-Drapeau subway station is located on Île Sainte-Hélène, in the heart of Parc Jean-Drapeau. To get to the Parc easily and quickly, the subway is still the best way to go!

River shuttle

During the summer season, Parc Jean-Drapeau visitors can use the river shuttle as a means of transportation, from the Vieux-Port de Montréal (Jacques-Cartier pier) and the city of Longueuil.

STM shuttle

Two STM shuttles provide a connection between the Jean-Drapeau subway station and various attractions:
