Charron Island – Île Charron | Montreal Hidden Gems

Looking for a really nice bike ride, or a hiking trip this summer, spring or fall? Charron Island is a nice and original place to try out.

The Charron Island is located in the Saint Lawrence River,  close to the National Park (Îles-de-Boucherville ) to the southeast of Montreal.

Charron Island is on the South East Shore of Montreal, it is close to downtown Montreal and is definitely worth the ride.

Here is where the Charron Island is located on the map.

As the island is famous for hiking and biking in the summer, it is also famous for fat biking, cross country skiing and snow shoeing in Winter.

Old Longueuil Church photo

Ville de Longueuil or Longueuil is a small city located right of the Jacques Cartier Bridge.

Longueuil Map

Longueuil has a really nice area called old Longueuil, Le Vieux Longueuil it is a great spot for eating, dinning, and walking around.

What makes this place more exceptional for me, is that view that you can get of the city of Montreal from there. 

It is the only place where you can see the Jacques Cartier Bridge with the City of Montreal in the back.

Here are some pictures from the old city of Longueuil and of the view of Montreal from Longueuil.

View of Downtown MTL From Parc de la Cité-du-Havre

Right in front of the Old Port of Montreal there is a park called Parc de la Cité-du-Havre. As close as this park may look to the old port, truth is that it is ride away, yet it is worth it, the 360 view of Montreal, the Jacques Cartier Bridge, and the Jean Drapeau Island; is priceless.

The bike ride or the wake to this island is worth it as it is a nice walk along the water, through the hidden bike paths of Montreal.

Here is where you can see this park on the map.

It is a 4.5 Km bike ride from the old port, and a almost a one hour walk.

Still definitely worth it.

Here are some pictures that will reflect the view that you will see from there.
