The Lachine Canal is an iconic jewel located in the
southwest of Montreal. Its 13.5-kilometre path runs between the Old Port
and Lake Saint-Louis. The navigable waterway, the green urban park lined
with industrial vestiges and the various activities on its banks make
this site a great place to share.
Le canal de Lachine est un joyau emblématique situé
dans le sud-ouest de Montréal. Sa piste de 13,5 kilomètres entre le
Vieux-Port et le lac Saint-Louis, sa voie navigable, son parc urbain
verdoyant, ses vestiges industriels et ses activités en berge font de ce
site une expérience à partager.
