Description

The Cageux Station highlights the site’s river history—it was once used for transporting timber on the St. Lawrence River—through a contemporary design inspired by the old shipyards. Connected to the other stations along the Samuel-De Champlain Promenade by the bike path, it’s a great spot to picnic, enjoy the river, and take a break, thanks to the nearby parking lot. The multipurpose pavilion also offers restrooms and a room available for hosting groups or event rentals.
