Bike paths and surrounding trails

The Prescott and Russell Recreational Trail is a safe and multi-functional path that spans the entire territory of the United Counties of Prescott and Russell, from Hammond in the west to St-Eugène in the east, covering a distance of 72 km. Mostly composed of crushed stone, four sections of 2 km are paved in the villages of Bourget, Plantagenet, Vankleek Hill, and St-Eugène.

The trail offers a relatively flat, pleasant, and family-friendly route with agricultural and wooded landscapes, dotted with charming small villages across five municipalities.

In the SUMMER, it's ideal for biking, walking, or running.

In the WINTER, it's used for snowmobiling, snowshoeing, or cross-country skiing (for the section near Vankleek Hill).

Additionally, the recreational trail offers great opportunities for geocaching and birdwatching and brings you close to the Alfred Bog boardwalk trail (3 km away) and the vast Larose Forest.
