Notices
Mobility
Rue des Seagull is one-way between Macdonald Road and Parking lot P11 due to the establishment of a pedestrian detour that provides access to the Biosphere.
The work taking place at the Biosphere should be completed by early June 2025.
Delays and detours to be expected, reduce your speed and follow the directions of the traffic signs.
Snowshoeing
Snowshoeing is undoubtedly one of the most accessible, enjoyable and easy sports there is. Whether you're on the trail to admire the wildlife and plant-life, take in some fresh air or re-energize your spirits, this activity is tailored to tame winter in the best way possible.
The trail's departure point is located in front of the Hélène-de-Champlain building, and as you go along, you will have the opportunity to discover Mont Boullé, the Lévis Tower and all of the beauty nature has to offer.

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
Three STM shuttles provide a connection between the Jean-Drapeau subway station and various attractions.
Bike
The Parc is one of the few places where you can cross the Saint Lawrence River on your bike: simply take the bike paths of the Jacques Cartier Bridge, the Concorde Bridge or the Bike link.

People can enjoy many of the cycling paths to get to or pass through the Parc Jean-Drapeau, either running or walking.
With more than 25 kilometres of trails and pathways, the Parc is a pleasant spot for hiking, all year round.
Parking
Motorists can get to Parc Jean-Drapeau by taking the Jacques Cartier Bridge or the Concorde Bridge.
