During the 20s and 30s, down hill skiing was all the rage and the P'tit Train du Nord played a pivitol role in opening up the Laurentiens as a resort area. As the automobile arrived on the scene and the area was accessible by super highway, the trains usefulness dimished and the rail line eventually shutdown. Once again the P'tit Train is bringing outdoor lovers north into the Laurentians but now its on foot, bicycles and cross country skis. Winding from Saint-Jerome through the heart of the Laurentians, it travels for 200km to its terminus at Mont Laurier. The southern section experiences the most traffic and has the most amenities.
Restaurants abound, with some of the finest in Quebec just a short distance from the linear park.
The northern section is more of a wilderness experience allowing you to get a little further away from the crowds. Take exit 43 and follow rue de Martigny to the east, then turn south on Labelle boulevard to rue parent where you'll find the old station and parking at the corner of rue Legault. From Hwy 15 exit at St Sauveur and take rue Principal east, turn left on rue de la Gare crossing over the 117. At rue Morin turn left then cross the small bridge on the right, then right again onto Chemin de la Gare where you'll find parking. You'll find the parking at the intersection with the trial.
