To travel the Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue
Canal is to take a trip through over 150 years of history. Located
west of Montreal, the canal links Lake Saint-Louis and the Lake
des Deux-Montagnes, at the mouth of the Ottawa River.
Used for commercial purposes from its opening in 1843, the canal
soon became an integral part of the Montreal-Ottawa-Kingston inland
shipping route.
Today, the Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue lock is used essentially for
pleasure boating. Travel one of our country's most important communications
routes, the Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue Canal.
