The Best Active Vacations

  • Traverse the Lachine Canal: The abandoned canal was first constructed to detour around the rapids of the same name. Falling into disuse after construction of the St. Lawrence Seaway, it was renovated in the last few years to serve as a recreational resource. Connecting the Vieux-Port with Atwater Market, a little over a mile away, it can be traveled by guided boat tour, on foot, or with bicycles or in-line skates rented at the Vieux-Port.

  • Bike the City: Montréalers' enthusiasm for bicycling has provided the impetus for the ongoing development of a network of bike-specific paths that wind through downtown areas and out to the countryside. Cyclists are allowed to take their bikes onto designated Métro cars and some taxis have special racks. Rentals can be arranged right at the waterfront park.
