Canadian National Railway Bridge
Railway bridge that was operated from 1907 to 2007. It is possible to see the bridge from the other side of the river, either from rang St-Émile (northern part); it will be required to walk between the road and the bridge by rail. It is not allowed to walk on the railway bridge.
This tour on each of the banks of the Batiscan river between Saint-Stanislas and Saint-Adelphe, reveals the great history of colonization, the railway (east bank of the Batiscan river) and the resort. This 31-km circuit (approximately 29 minutes) allows you to see the river from various angles. From the village of Saint-Stanislas, take rue du Pont and cross the Batiscan river bridge which was rebuilt in 2018 to replace the old iron bridge. Take the Rang de la rivière Batiscan Nord-Est (northbound) along the east bank of the river. After approximately 6.6 km of journey, the section of the old Canadian National Railway which was operated for 100 years (from 1907 to 2007), joins the road to follow the river to the railway bridge of Saint-Adelphe. At the 10th kilometre of the journey, the road passes near the Manictou rapids where resort hamlets have been developed (one on the east side, and two on the west side: Domaine Charest and Domaine Manictou. This area also marks the limit of the seigneuries of Batiscan (territory of Saint-Stanislas) and Sainte-Anne (territory of Saint-Prosper and Saint-Adelphe). The colonization of the territory of Saint-Adelphe began in the 1880s. The return to Saint-Stanislas is recommended by crossing the Batiscan river by the bridge of the village of Saint-Adelphe; this bridge was built in 1965, replacing the old covered bridge built in wood in 1924 (length of 338 feet), and demolished in 1968. Then, take the road 352 (southbound) along the river to the village of Saint-Stanislas.
