Bike Link and Route verte

Things to do at the Parc

The Bike Link is a safe, well-maintained marked trail of about 14 kms, reserved for bicycles. The bike path links Montréal, Parc Jean-Drapeau, Île des Soeurs and the South Shore municipalities: it is one of the rare spots where you can cross the Saint Lawrence River on your bike.

The bike path is part of the Trans Canada Trail and the Route verte, and it provides a wide vista of unique and spectacular views of the city's downtown area and the majestic Saint Lawrence River.

The Bike Link segment at Parc Jean-Drapeau is a place where nature, public art and heritage venues converge. There are many facilities along the bike path on the Saint-Hélène and Notre-Dame islands, such as an Information center, washrooms, picnic spots and even a service area.

216,203 crossings were recorded in 2018.

From Montréal:

  1. Lachine Canal bike path near the Old Port of Montréal.
  2. Pierre-Dupuy Avenue bike path.
  3. Concorde Bridge bike path.
  4. Parc Jean-Drapeau bike path.
