Linear Park « Le P'tit train du nord »
Former railway that brought the p'tit train north to Mont-Laurier, it has been transformed into a linear park, which is now the longest in Canada. More than 200 kilometers of natural discoveries separate Saint- Jerome and Mont-Laurier. Throughout the linear park, you will find small welcoming villages, inviting inns and restaurants to satisfy your appetite. Sometimes flat, sometimes slightly sloping, the linear park is far from being tedious.
