Parcours des Anses (Cove Trail)

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

The Parcours des Anses is a nearly 15 kilometre paved multi-use trail that follows the south shore of the St. Lawrence River in Lévis. Built on a former railway corridor, the route is wide and mostly flat, making it ideal for walking and cycling. Along the way, the trail passes green spaces, historic sites such as the former A.C. Davie Shipyard, and several viewpoints overlooking the river. The views across the water toward Quebec City, including the Château Frontenac and the bridges, are a highlight throughout the route.

Etchemin River Mouth

Highlight • River

The Parcours des Anses crosses the Etchemin River on a dedicated pedestrian and cycling bridge just before the river meets the St. Lawrence. It’s a pleasant crossing with views along the river and toward the waterfront. After crossing to the southwest side, you’ll reach Parc Aline-Welsh-Murphy, a convenient stop along the trail with useful facilities including public toilets, a water fountain, and picnic areas.

Viewpoint of Québec City

Highlight • Viewpoint

This viewpoint along the Parcours des Anses offers one of the best views across the St. Lawrence River toward Quebec City. From here you can clearly see the skyline of Old Québec, including the Château Frontenac rising above the historic fortifications. The wide river in the foreground and ships passing along the channel add to the scene, making this a great place to pause along the trail and take in one of the most iconic views in the region.
