              Description

              The Lachine Canal National Historic Site is a 14km trail that runs alongside the Lachine Canal.
              There are several footbridges to cross from one side of the canal to the other. They are about 1m wide.
              There are a few interpretive signs on the trail, with room to manoeuvre in front of them, 1.25 m high.
              Sometimes the benches have armrests on either side, sometimes none at all. They are located on concrete slabs, sometimes with a threshold of around 3cm.
              The Fur Trade at Lachine National Historic Site is on the trail.
