Lachine Canal Industrial Corridor
This canal is why Montreal industrialized, and its banks are an open-air museum of industrial structure: grain silos, the old mills, the locks, and the loft conversions that followed. Walk or cycle it reading the heavy infrastructure and how it's being reused. Flat, free, and a different scale of architecture entirely.
The 1825 canal that built industrial Montreal — silos, mills, locks, and warehouse conversions read along a flat, car-free path.
