Learn and relax at the Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue Canal
Located at the western tip of the Island of Montreal, the Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue Canal links Saint-Louis Lake and the des Deux-Montagnes Lake, at the mouth of the Ottawa River. The Saint-Louis Lake is one of Quebec's most popular lakes, which is why this heritage lock is the busiest in Quebec.
Take a break and enjoy a family picnic in the park along the canal. Admire the boats while they travel through the locks and observe the lock keepers at work. To learn more about the canal and its history, visit the Interpretation Panel Circuit. If you still have questions, feel free to ask the lock keepers, they will be happy to inform you about their work.
