On foot or by bike, what a pleasure it is to stroll along the Lachine Canal and then settle down on a terrace at the end of the day!

A waterway that connected Great Lakes cities to the rest of the world for 134 years, it played a key role in the industrialization of Montreal. Large companies immediately set up shop there, giving rise to the workers' cities, now Montreal neighbourhoods. After being abandoned, part of this waterway was finally redeveloped into a park and a bicycle path now runs along the canal from the Old Port to Lachine.

Beautiful cycle path from the Old port. The track along the canal and offers several stops meal-coolings. It can be stocked the beautiful days of weekend.

Un bel endroit pour faire du patin à roues alignées à Montréal, avec la piste qui se connecte du Parc Rene-Levesque au Vieux Port.

À usage commercial et industriel à l'origine, ce canal qui a été remplacé par la Voie maritime du Saint-Laurent en 1959 est devenu un lieu de verdure que l'on peut arpenter à pied ou à vélo ou naviguer en canot, kayak ou embarcations collectives à partir du Port de Montréal (Vieux-Montréal) jusqu'à Lachine. On retrouve au long du canal quelques centres d'interprétation et musées qui peuvent être intéressants.
Rendu à Lachine, magnifiques points de vue sur le Lac Saint-Louis, renflement du fleuve Saint-Laurent qui précède les Rapides de Lachine, lesquels avaient originalement motivé la construction du canal.
Le vaste bassin de regroupement à l'embouchure du canal lui-même est devenu un véritable écrin de verdure sur les berges du lac qui mérite à lui seul le déplacement.
On retrouve aussi de jolis restaurants-terrasses face au bassin pour siroter l'apéritif ou apprécier un bon repas.
