Prescott-Russell Recreational Trail

The Prescott-Russell Recreational Trail is a multi-use pathway extending through Eastern Ontario, offering a car-free route between Ottawa and Montreal. The trail surface is predominantly packed stonedust, with occasional short gravel sections. Conditions vary along the route, with the section closer to Ottawa resembling the well-maintained Trans Canada Trail, while further east towards Vankleek Hill the surface is less worn and contains more aggregate. The trail is generally quiet and secluded, passing through farmland and wooded areas. While suitable for road bikes, particularly on the Ottawa to Bourget section, users should be aware of the changing surface conditions and potential for dust or loose gravel.
