Ah the Mauricie Park! Some people proclaim it as “the most beautiful place to ride in Eastern North America” and for a good reason. It was already one of the most beautiful places in Quebec, but since 2020, with its new asphalt (and widened shoulders in several places), it has become the pinnacle of road biking. Whether it's to surpass yourself, have a whole climbing experience in addition to enjoying exceptional landscapes, the 105-km Park Challenge is a route that we highly recommend!

We suggest that you start your route from 2800 from the Park. Located near the entrance to the Park on the east side (Saint-Jean-Des-Piles), the 2800 is a perfect place to start and end your outing. With its restaurant, its reception room, its large parking lot and even accommodations, you will have everything you need to start (and end) the day well.

Since the entire course is done in the Mauricie Park, there aren't really any particular stops. On the other hand, there are several picnic areas designed to recharge your batteries or to cool off in the lake water!

When you leave the Park, you can stop by the Café Bucolique de Ste-Flore or at one of the many microbreweries in Shawinigan. Among others, we particularly like: The Microbrewery Nouvelle France And Trou du Diable.

If you want to shorten your outing, we recommend our Park Challenge trip (69km).

Admission to the Mauricie Park costs $8.50 per adult. Be sure to bring cash or a credit card so you can pay for admission. There are no reservations and the day admission fees are payable on site the same day you arrive.

Finally, with its 2000m+ of altitude gain over a distance of more than 115km, this course is a real challenge for your legs. Don't underestimate your in-ride nutrition and hydration, especially when it's very hot!
