Walk or Cycle the Lachine Canal
Southwest Montréal, Montréal, Canada
The Lachine Canal offers a revealing route through Montréal’s changing urban landscape. Former industrial structures, residential neighbourhoods and waterside paths connect the city’s working past with the way people use it today. A walk or cycle can be as short or substantial as you choose, making this a useful counterpoint to museums and formal tours. Check current path works and seasonal conditions, choose a manageable section, and allow time to stop where the water and surrounding streets invite a closer look.
