TransTerrebonne
The TransTerrebonne is a series of paths used for bicycle rides, walking, and jogging during the warmer months. During the winter, the paths are used for walking, snowshoeing, and cross-country skiing. The GPAT ensures the maintenance of these two dozen kilometers of paths through the woods with one of its specially built groomers.
Some winter enthusiasts also use fat bikes in some of these paths on occasion.
