Parc Linéaire des Rivières Saint-Charles et du Berger

The Parc Linéaire des Rivières Saint-Charles et du Berger is a linear park that follows the riverbanks through Quebec City. It passes through different landscape types including plains, canyons, waterfalls, and marshes.

The park project started with the goal of restoring riverbanks to their natural state. Concrete shorelines were removed and habitats were restored to reduce human impact in the area.

Public sculptures of different bird species are placed along the paths throughout the park. These artworks blend with the natural surroundings and encourage visitors to observe the wildlife more carefully.

The park has eight welcome stations and multiple parking areas that make access easy. Visitors can hike, bike, or kayak, and the park is open from early morning until late evening daily.

The natural area of the park offers visitors a chance to spot bird species like cormorants and great blue herons that have returned to the region. These sightings result from restoration work that created extensive new habitats.
