The old rail line was transformed into a leisure trail and opened in 1996. The P’tit Train du Nord made its final journey in late 1981, after which the route fell into disrepair. The popularity of the rail line reached a peak between 19, largely because fun-seekers from Montréal began heading to the Laurentians to enjoy nature and skiing, which was the “in” sport of the moment.

Other sections along the trail can be used by snowmobilers, and the entire length of the trail is open for snowshoeing. The Trail is mechanically groomed between kilometre 1.3 and kilometre 44 for both classic cross-country skiing and skate skiing. The route is especially magical in the wintertime.

Just north of Montreal, Le P’tit Train du Nord (Little Train of the North) linear park features a 232-km path built over a former railway line.
