One of five routes starting from the Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu area, featuring an optional loop along the shoreline of Île Sainte-Thérèse.This peaceful area experiences relatively little boat traffic, thanks in part to the presence of the locks to the west, creating a calm and enjoyable paddling environment.The route offers a nature-focused experience just minutes from the city, making it an ideal escape for those looking to reconnect with the outdoors close to home.
