About the Saint-Ignace-de-Loyola – Sorel-Tracy crossing
From the Lanaudière side, this 12-minute crossing is how you reach Sorel-Tracy without driving into Montréal's road network — useful enough that the Société des traversiers du Québec schedules roughly 36 departures a day. Saint-Ignace-de-Loyola sits among the Sorel Islands, the delta where the St. Lawrence spreads into Lac Saint-Pierre, and the approach threads between low, flat, marshy islands that look nothing like the cliffs further downstream. The ferry takes cars and runs all year. Because sailings are so frequent, this is one of the few crossings in the network where turning up unplanned is the normal way to use it; reservations are not part of how the route operates.
