2009년 타임 잡지에서 가장 아름다운 도시 루트 중 하나로 선정된 Lachine Canal은 Old Port에서 René-Lévesque Park까지 이어집니다. 길을 따라 세인트 로렌스 강의 특별한 전망을 경험하고 독특한 몬트리올 지역의 모자이크를 탈 수 있습니다. 숙련된 자전거 타는 사람에게는 활기찬 60분, 휴식과 다과를 위한 많은 피트 스톱이 있는 다른 사람들에게는 여유로운 오후입니다.
This bike path along the Lachine Canal in Montreal is a well-maintained, two-laned, flat path bordering parks, old brick buildings with modern conversions, neighbourhoods and industrial areas. There is an accompanying map for tourists describing the sites/destinations: a canal museum, restaurants, historical sites and even a Montreal brewery (St. Ambroise). You can also rent paddle boats, canoes or kayaks. You can ride in either direction from this popular starting point, going either the shorter 23 kilometre route, or the longer route, past a bird sanctuary on the St. Lawrence River. I highly recommend this activity.
A major site for industrial development and economic stability during the nineteenth century, the Lachine Canal, which spans over 14 km, is now a major tourist attraction as well as a popular walking and biking trail. One way to get on the Canal trail is to walk to the western-most end of the Vieux Port, past the outdoor food vendors, where you see the bridge (Rue Mill) cutting through Rue de la Commune. Just follow the flow of bikers and walkers, and you’ll eventually see the famous Farine Five Roses factory, which is the only company in the Peel Basin (the beginning of the Canal) still in operation today. Go a little further and you’ll cross through the Peel Basin and into a pretty greenspace, which has bike paths and small bridges, some of which take you across the canal back into urban areas like Griffintown, which has some good restaurants and cafes.
A great place to walk. Only 2 blocks away. See the kayaks, the locks and believe it or not, the odd beaver or large fish!! Also the bike path on the canal is your gateway to Old Montreal in about 20 minutes.
walk from the townhome, bycicle, canoe, cruise, etc
