Excursion à vélo d’une journée de Magog à Sherbrooke

Get ready for a scenic cruise from Magog to Sherbrooke! This roughly 33 km ride (give or take a few hills) is a beautiful way to experience the Eastern Townships. Starting from Magog, a charming lakeside town on the northern tip of Lake Memphremagog—perfect for a pre-ride coffee or lakeside stroll—you’ll head north toward Sherbrooke, the region’s lively university city.

The route is a real mixed bag: expect to roll along quiet roads and cycleways for most of the trip, with more than half the way being paved. There are segments with loose gravel and unpaved paths, so wider tires and a spirit of adventure won’t go amiss. You’ll cruise past picturesque countryside, gentle hills, and sweet little hamlets.

Total ascent is pretty manageable—about 230 m up, 270 m down—so there’s enough climbing to keep things interesting without burning you out. At the finish, Sherbrooke awaits with its riverside parks, culture, and bustling cafés. Don’t forget to check out the murals downtown!
