A 12KM uninterrupted bicycle ride along the Lachine Canal all the way to the Clocktower beach on the far side of the Old Port of Montreal. This ride starts at the border of Lachine and LaSalle boroughs of Montreal. Along the way you will see Locks, small watercraft like canoes and dragon boats. The bicycle path has many interesting underpasses and tunnels. There is also a small construction detour at 16:35. That is interesting if you know the route. The detour is really well done.
The path is in very good condition and if you are a cyclist visiting Montreal you need to make this ride part of your tour. It is easy to find parking along the route and you have at least two options to make your ride into a loop returning via the St-Lawrence Riverbank or along the aqueduct.
