A walking trail on Summit Drive, the Parc du Vieux Moulin is a must-see! You will discover the foundations of the first mills in the village while enjoying the beautiful trails along Weedon Stream. You can also admire magnificent waterfalls. It’s the perfect place to enjoy a nature picnic with the bubbling brook in the background. Want to stick around a little longer? Go to the Fresque de Weedon nearby (take Rue St-Janvier [route 257] to 9^th Avenue). It depicts the history and identity of Weedon, St-Gérard and Fontainebleau. Let the walls talk to you about history through nine beautiful scenes.
This work of art was created by citizens of the municipality of Weedon who, wanting to beautify a section of the village, chose to paint an immense mural on different buildings.

The Comité de la Fresque de Weedon was formed in 2004 and residents were encouraged to volunteer, along with the “Peintres en Liberté” group, to complete the project. Hundreds of citizens participated in its creation.

The scenes represent regional landscapes, such as the iron bridge over Rivière St-François, Lac Louise, Rivière au Saumon, the St-Gérard dam, a view of the village of Fontainebleau (Weedon area), the Parc du Vieux Moulin, the Gare de Weedon, a Quebec Central train scene, and a few others.
