       Some of the best riding in Eastern Canada. Very technical and challenging in some sections with a nice bit of flow and some very picturesque views too. Highly recommended.

       Le plus beau sentier de vbn et plutôt tranquille, section plus difficile sur le bord de la rivière.

       L'état du sentier laisse a désiré, mais beau paysage.
