Need to Know

No parking fee. One chemical toilet on Dunant Parking side. There is a welcome chalet on Bréboeuf parking side with more services (food, bathroom, lockers, etc).

Runner Notes

When running in the summer, the trails are mostly gravel with a few roots and rocks here and there. If you like to run in the winter, you should definitely have some ice cleats on your shoes or running boots. Even if the trails get cleared of snow, it can get icy. Some of these winter essentials might be helpful : requiredbasics.com/4-essent…

Description

Mont Bellevue is a little piece of forest in the middle of Sherbrooke city. It's really popular for outdoor activities like running, fatbike, bike, skiing, snowboarding, sliding and cross-country skiing. There is a parking on Dunant Street and another on Bréboeuf Street (the main entrance). I like to park on Dunant side since it's often less crowded.

Considering that you're in the middle of Sherbrooke, the trail offers you an interesting elevation, approximately 230 meters.

After completing the first half of the trail, you'll arrive near the Sherbrooke University Campus. As you keep going, you'll pass by the welcome/ski/bike chalet on Bréboeuf Street. That is where you'll encounter the most people, but you'll get right back in the forest to finish your run.

You'll come back to Dunant's parking and will have completed a full circle.

Flora & Fauna

If you're lucky you might see some deers. There are always a few around and they're often calm since they are used to human presence in the park.
