Activities and experiences
Chambly Canal National Historic Site
By bike, on foot or by boat, come and admire the lockage operations and enjoy a family picnic in the Parc les Ateliers. Explore the Old Chambly or the Old St-Jean with a stroll. The Chambly Canal is also a welcoming place in winter when you can practice skating, snowshoeing or cross-country skiing.
Parks Canada would like to remind users of the importance of staying on the path and at all times avoid approaching footbridges and locks; there is a real risk of falling.
