| dc.description | Footbridge leading to boardwalk and observation area built out over wetlands habitat, near Cartier-Brébeuf National Historic Site; The Parc linéaire des rivières Saint-Charles et du Berger is a 32 km (19.2 mi.) long pedestrian trail following the river on its whole course. It goes through Quebec City downtown and continues northwards through natural habitat. Its development is linked to the cleanup and redevelopment of the banks of the river, which consisted of removal of 8 km of shoreline concrete, replanting habitat and creation of retention ponds to guard against pollution. The trail crosses several city parks. Sites of interest include the Kabir Kouba waterfall, a canyon, a bog covered with a wooden boardwalk, a full forest zone, a lake, a water "castle" (old treatment plant), historic buildings, a Wyandot village (Wendake) and public artworks. The Park includes the historic Maison Dorion-Coulombe, built ca. 1775. It was saved from demolition and moved twice from its original location in Vanier by private owners; acquired by the City of Quebec in 2000 and restored to serve as the Park's Intrepretation Center. The Centre écologique Léopold-E.-Beaulieu (433 Rue Delage) was built by Brière Gilbert et associés, architectes. The Park trail also crosses the Cartier-Brébeuf National Historic Site, on the north shore in the La Cité-Limoilou borough, at the confluence with the Lairet River.
