From Edmunston, NB I would definitely recommend that you take the Petit Temis bike trail and the Route Verte (www.routeverte.com) to Montreal as follows:
- Route Verte #8 to Riviere-du-Loup (a trail starts in Edmunston and links to the Route Verte as you cross into Quebec);
- Route Verte #1 to Quebec City;
- Cross to the North Shore of the St-Lawrence at Levis using the ferry;
- Route Verte #5 from Quebec City to Montreal

You can order the Route Verte guidebook from Velo-Quebec. It is available in English.

Hopefully, someone more familiar with the NB itineraries can jump in and fill-in the NB portion of the ride.

Cheers,
Ron
