Lachine Canal National Historic Site

Whether strolling or biking along its banks, visitors to the Lachine Canal enjoy a break from the urban bustle while taking in picnics in the shade or catching the various boats that glide along the waterway. In winter, take advantage of the groomed snowshoe trail or take part in a variety of winter sport activities. In summer, instructors introduce the basics of paddle sports as well as camping and outdoor skills. The 14.5 kilometer route which connects the Old Port and Lake Saint-Louis passes through heritage areas testifying to Montréal's industrial past, and a neighbourhood which hosts art galleries, restaurants, bars and shops.
