Inaugurated in 1825, it played a crucial role in the industrial development of Montreal during the 19th and early 20th centuries by allowing ships to bypass the treacherous Lachine Rapids on the Saint Lawrence River. Though closed to commercial traffic since 1970, the canal was reopened for recreational purposes in 2002, featuring a bike path and spaces for various water activities. Today, it remains an integral part of Montreal’s urban landscape, offering a scenic and cultural retreat right within the city.
