Thing to do near the Aerobic Corridor Park

A visit to the Aerobic Corridor Park is a journey through a safe natural environment that remains close to a variety of services. Journeys in the park can be planned to your requirements for each of its sectors. This multi-use route passes through several typical Laurentian villages and offers various activities in the open air.

Here are a few suggestions of activities and things to see along the route.

Morin-Heights hub
Km zero of the Aerobic Corridor Park leads directly to the heart of the municipality of Morin-Heights. The community and economic vitality of this picturesque village depend mainly on cultural activities and the great outdoors. In addition to the general store located 100 metres from the Aerobic Corridor, there is a great variety of restaurants, coffee shops and many spas in the area. Several lodging establishments and campgrounds are located within a radius of one kilometre. Regarded as the capital of cross-country skiing, Morin-Heights is an ideal starting point for winter activities and is also easily accessible in the summer. Treetop adventures are also available.

From the Aerobic Corridor you can also get to the centre of Saint-Sauveur via the Vélocité bike trail. This 12km road trip takes you right to the P’tit Train du Nord linear park at the Piedmont train station.

 

Montfort Pole (Wentworth-Nord) hub
Nestled alongside Lac Saint-François-Xavier, this small community owes its name to the Montfort Fathers who established an agricultural orphanage shortly after 1880. You can plan for a full day of outdoor activities at the Montfort Pavilion. The La Monfortaine circuit and the Les Orphelins network of circuits add up to nearly 25km of hiking and mountain biking trails in the forest. Two nature interpretation routes are also proposed. Directly accessible from the pavilion, Lac Saint-François-Xavier is ideal for the practice of non-motorized nautical activities. Boats and paddle boards can be rented on the spot. During winter, the networks of trails create a variety of opportunities for snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, winter cycling (fatbike) and ski hop. Equipment can be rented right at the pavilion. Several accommodation options are available; for a close-to-nature experience, you can rent a shelter at Les Urubus all year-round. Keep in mind that the Café du randonneur coffee shop, located at the pavilion, is the only food outlet in Montfort.

 

Lac des Seize-Îles hub
A must stop for visitors, the village of Lac-des-Seize-Îles provides a privileged contact with the majestic 8km-long lake. Vacationers have been coming here for almost 135 years and the lakefront cottages have an undeniable charm.
Need to replenish your provisions? The general store is located at the edge of the Aerobic Corridor Park. Then you can head toward the Joseph-Rodger public beach, a nice place to beat the heat. For a pleasant on-the-water experience, climb aboard the pontoon boat that can accommodate 12 passengers with their bikes and go to the southern tip of the lake where a choice of original accommodations, such as the bubble house (Casa Bubble), is available in the summer.
