If you fancy adventure on two wheels, Shawinigan is a great destination for you. The vast territory offers several places to go mountain biking. If you come to Shawi for mountain biking, it\u2019s more specifically to head for La Mauricie National Park and Parc de l\u2019\u00cele Melville.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La Mauricie National Park<\/a><\/strong> offers bike routes on forest trails accessible through the Rivi\u00e8re-\u00e0-la-P\u00eache and the Saint-G\u00e9rard sectors. You then access a network of approximately 55 km which includes several rest stops in the heart of the forest. We\u2019re talking here about trails 3, 5, 6A, 7, 8, 9, 11, the promenade route, trail 6 between Lac Bouchard and Lac du Pimbina and the Vallerand trail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Our favorite ? Trail number 9. This trail is beautiful, easy and suitable for the whole family. It runs along Lake Edward and has stops or views of this same lake. It\u2019s an 8 km linear route that can take you to other trails of the same level or more difficult. Plus, it\u2019s the perfect spot for photos!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Parc de l\u2019\u00cele Melville<\/strong><\/a> is another great place for mountain biking. It\u2019s located along the Saint-Maurice River and offers approximately 15 km of trails<\/a> that were laid out during the Quebec Games in 2012 and have been maintained by a team of volunteers ever since. The park has intermediate and difficult trails, more suitable for those well accustomed to this sport. However, if you\u2019re more of a beginner but have a reckless temperament, you\u2019ll undoubtedly appreciate the trails of this magnificent park in the heart of downtown Shawinigan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019re also two other popular sites near Shawinigan known for their mountain bike trails: Mont-SM and the Parc R\u00e9cr\u00e9oforestier de Saint-Mathieu-du-Parc, both with intermediate and more challenging trails.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
