Had a great stay here! Stéphan is an awesome guy and was super attentive to our needs during our visit, lighting our way in with a lantern and supplying is with an extension cord and heater for chilly nights. Also his pig Marcell is super sweet and fun to meet:)

We had a great time camping on Cynthia’s land! She was very accommodating and kind. Electricity, water and firewood was available at the site. Although we loved the campsite, we were a party of 5 and each site is narrow with the next site right beside, thankfully there were no other campers in the site next to us because we wouldn’t have had enough space if there were. For a party of 2, or maybe even 4, the spot would be perfect! Or if you were fortunate like us to have an empty site beside yours. There were, however, other campers 2 lots over and they were playing music, as were we, and we didn’t interfere with each other. That is to say, noise traveling is not an issue and campers can be comfortable in their site without bothering others.
Thank you for having us, we would definitely come back!

Loved this site! Incredibly picturesque, very family-friendly, plus our toddler (and we!) loved walking around the farm in the morning and meeting the sheep, donkey, pigs, and the farm dog, Whiskey. It was beautiful in fall just after the harvest, and we bought some mutton before heading out- best we've ever had. Would love to stay here again if we are in the area.

Very peaceful and pretty place to camp for the night. Stephan is very helpful and kind, and a very generous host. His land/yard is beautiful, and was a wonderful place to wake up to. Happy to have found it :)

Very nice site. I was a Sunday night I was there so there was only one other camper. I think if it was full it would have felt too crowded but my experience was very quiet and relaxing. Site was surrounded by beautiful trees and fields and it was the perfect time to see all the fall leaves.

My partner and I had a great time here! The camper was beautiful renovated and decorated. It was spacious and comfy with a nice outdoor area too. It was an easy drive to the shops and old Montreal. The hosts are wonderful and clearly put effort into making you feel welcome.

Great for a stop-over to sleep on my drive from Toronto to the Maritmes. Stephan was kind and welcoming. Location without address could be a bit confusing but the Google coordinates were exactly correct — just look for the bus camper parked in the drive.

We just needed a place to stay the night on our road trip out east and this was perfect. We used the coordinates to find the place and it took us straight there, no issues locating it, even in the dark. Lots of space to exercise your dog if needed. Stephan was very responsive and helpful! Just sad we didn’t see the pig! We would stay again.

2 nights at Cabine Luciole
This cabin and land was absolutely magical- hand picked flagstone floors, an ideal yoga area, plenty of wood and a warm eco shower enclosed in a gorgeous thoughtfully built bathhouse… plenty of trails and a labyrinth to walk. Raw, beautiful nature. As a plus: Roberta was wise, friendly, and accommodating. Would love to return!

Magnifique petite forêt pleine de champignons, de vieux arbres et d'animaux sauvages. Le chalet est charmant et les hôtes sont très accueillants. Garder en tête qu'il y a beaucoup d'araignées dans les parages, certaines très larges (6cm et plus), donc pas pour les arachnophobes !

This was an excellent campsite for me though a little hard to find (needs to publish the street address). Stephan was an excellent host who came out to find me as I tried to locate his property. I could sometimes hear trains at night bit at least they did not sound their whistles.

Really great place to stay. Calm and serene. Lots of firewood and cover if it rains. The animals on the farm are a great little side quest.

Overview
About
A link between the city and nature, the Lachine Canal is located in the southwest section of Montreal. Its 13.5-kilometre urban route runs between the Old Port and Lake Saint-Louis, a navigable waterway punctuated by five locks. Along its banks, a linear green urban park is lined with vestiges of the industrial era when the canal boomed. Throughout the year, a varied schedule of activities makes this historic site a great place to experience with family or friends.
When to go
The best time to visit the Lachine Canal National Historic Site is during the summer months, from June to August, when the weather is warm and the canal is bustling with activities. Winter offers a tranquil charm with its snowy landscape, but some facilities may be limited.
Know before you go
- Always stay on the designated paths to ensure your safety and preserve the site's natural beauty.
- Check the operation hours, as they vary seasonally, and some areas may be closed for maintenance.
- Accessibility is a priority, with most paths and facilities designed to accommodate all visitors.
- Remember to bring water and sun protection during the summer months, as the area can get quite sunny.
- Engage with the site's history by visiting the various industrial vestiges and participating in the free online workshops offered.
