The Aerobic Corridor Park is a 58 kilometre linear trail that runs along the former CN railroad bed between Morin-Heights and St-Rémi-d’Amherst, with the exception of a short 1 km section closed due to landowner issues between Sixteen Island Lake and Weir.

The Aerobic Corridor runs through a wide variety of countryside. It follows mountain contours, runs through dense forests, traces valleys and farmers’ fields, and touches the shores of many lakes, rivers, and waterfalls.

In 2008, the Aerobic Corridor joined the Route Verte and is now free to cyclists.

This multi-use trail may be enjoyed by walkers and cyclists from June to mid-October. The park is managed by the Corporation du P’Tit Train du Nord during this period. Phone: 450-227-3313, Fax : 450 227-6322 or e-mail : traindunord@qc.aira.com

The trail bed which is made up of a wide path of crushed compact stones is deemed an intermediate trail for cyclists. Hybrid bicycles or mountain bikes are recommended. During the winter season, a 9-kilometre section of the trail from Morin Heights to Montfort is maintained by the Municipality of Morin-Heights as an easy cross-country ski trail. The Corridor is also the backbone to Morin-Heights’ 150 km of Cross-country ski trail network.
