One river, among the longest in the world, dominates the landscape in Quebec. Connecting the Atlantic Coast to the Great Lakes, this legendary waterway generously lends its channels, islands and shores to an infinte array of aquatic activites and terrestrail diversions.

Dotted along the river lie welcoming coastal towns and fishing villages with great accommodation and spectacular scenery. La Malbaie, Tadoussac and Mingan sit on the North Shore, while Riviére-du-Loup, Matane and Percé sit on the South.

Coastal highways hug the banks of the famous river tempting you with a succession of stops, picture perfect for recreation or simple relaxation. North America's largest network of bike paths wind along the coast, making the shores of the St Lawrence River every cyclist's favorite playground.

Large and small islands dot the St Lawrence providing a paradise for picnics and strolls. Drenched in history and architectural treasures, Grosse-lle, lle d'Oréans and lle aux Courdes are the top of the must sees.
