Lachine Canal National Historic Site Restored waterway

711 St-Joseph Boulevard (Near 7th) Montreal, QC H8S 2M2 +1 514 637 7433 / +1 514 283 6054 http://www.parkscanada.gc.ca/

The Lachine Canal was one of the most important waterways in Canadian history. Its construction, between 1825 and 1873, allowed expanded navigation into the St Lawrence River and facilitated Montreal's continued expansion. Nowadays the main attraction is the delightful cycle, walking and inline skating path leading from Lachine right into the Downtown area. An interpretive centre offers a permanent exhibit outlining the phases of the canal's construction and history. Admission is free. Review © 2009, Wcities
