Glide along the 21.3-km La Riveraine trail! Mechanically groomed, the trail begins at Parc Summerlea in Lachine, runs across LaSalle’s shoreline from end to end and finishes at Parc Arthur-Therrien in Verdun. La Riveraine also includes a loop in the magnificent Parc René-Lévesque.
However, for safety reasons, some sections of the trail will be inaccessible, for example from chemin du Canal to 6^e Avenue, from 21^e to 34^e Avenue and under Honoré-Mercier bridge in LaSalle. 

Check the conditions of the trails and the map.
