A Multifunctional and Interpretive Trail

Spanning just over a kilometer, this trail in a natural setting highlights the beauty and history of the area with its resting areas, interpretive panels, and impressive views of the St. Lawrence River.

With a gentler slope than that of Gilmour Hill, the trail, independent of road infrastructure, was designed to facilitate the movement of pedestrians and cyclists.

Groomed in winter and lit year-round, the Plains of Abraham trail becomes a safe and popular spot for park users between the Samuel-de-Champlain Promenade and Old Quebec.
