Short description

This short loop takes you out along a gravel cycle path, through Scotstown camping ground (Mackenzie park), across the river and into the woods.

Although slightly uphill, the only steepish part comes about 5km in where the path turns left, up a sharp incline for about 60m.

When you get to the end of the cycle path, you can either turn left along the Franceville (paved) road, then loop back towards Scotstown swooping in down a long descent, or you can turn right and cycle into the Mont Mégantic park, then up a gravel trail through the woods (and back again).
