The St. Lawrence river paths (Petite Voie du Fleuve / Verdun)

For flat kilometres with the best water views, I run the river paths southwest through Verdun. They follow the St. Lawrence past Lac Saint-Louis toward the dramatic Lachine Rapids, with the skyline behind and a section (the Petite Voie du Fleuve) that runs literally on the river. It's flat, scenic, and quieter than the canal, and you can stretch it long — up to ~13 miles one way toward Lachine. Great by foot or BIXI.

Flat multi-use paths along the St. Lawrence from Verdun toward the Lachine Rapids — water on one side, skyline views, and a path that runs right on the river.
