Maps Distances Route Description
Hawkesbury 0 km Leave Hawkesbury by heading north on Hwy.34. This will take you across the Ottawa River, on the bridge.
Carillon 2 km Turn right (east) at the first set of traffic lights after crossing the river. You will now find yourself on Rte.344, which has a good paved shoulder. It is also Route Verte 1, a portion of Quebec's excellent bicycle route network. Continue to look for, and to follow, the Route Verte 1 signs, even as it turns north of Rte.344. You should also find a Tourist Information Booth located at this intersection.
  11 km At Mtée Vachon, Route Verte 1 re-joins Rte.344, and the paved shoulder is now excellent.
  16 km At Mtée St-Phillippe, just before the start of the causeway, Route Verte 1 turns left and, almost immediately, turns right on to a dedicated paved bike path.

  25 km Town of Saint-André-d'Argenteuil. Continue to look for, and to follow, the Route Verte signs!
