Hare trail
The Lièvre trail runs through the municipality of Lacolle. This 3.8 km bike path links up with Route 223 and theAxe cyclable Vallée-des-Forts. The latter links Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu to theLake Champlain Bikeways in New York and Vermont.
To the west, the Lièvre trail joins the Sentier du Paysan, crossing the territory of the MRC Jardins de Napierville. Over 26 km long, it follows an old railroad line through the region's fertile fields, away from the villages. Nature, isolation and peace await you!
