With the arrival of warmer weather, we understand your eagerness to get back on the trails! To help you plan your outing, please refer to the following information on current open and closed sections:

🚫 𝗖𝗟𝗢𝗦𝗘𝗗 𝗦𝗘𝗖𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡𝗦:

  • From KM 15 to KM 35.8: Granular resurfacing work (approximately 800 tons) – frequent passage of trucks and heavy machinery.

  • From KM 36 to KM 201: Cleaning, inspection, and pruning operations in progress; persistent patches of ice. Our teams are actively working toward the gradual reopening of certain sections. Please stay tuned for our updates.

✅ 𝗢𝗣𝗘𝗡 𝗦𝗘𝗖𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡:

  • From KM 14 to KM 34 South (Prévost to Bois-des-Filion). Due to high traffic, it is essential to follow the Park’s code of ethics:
    👉 https://ptittraindunord.com/code-dethique/

For your safety and that of our teams working on the ground, it is essential not to use closed trail sections.
