Lac-Saint-Louis
Lake St.Louis was sighted by Jacques Cartier in 1535 from the top of Mont Royal. Samuel de Champlain later named it Le Grand Sault St Louis in 1611 because a young man named Louis had drowned in the rapids. The name stuck as Lake St.Louis.

St. Lawrence River

Lachine Fur Trade Museum
The building was built by Alexander Gordon for the North West Company. It served as a fur warehouse, not a trading post. In 1833, the Hudson's Bay Company became the owner.
Travelers in search of furs left here for Fort William, in Thunder Bay at the western end of Lake Superior. They passed by canoe on the St. Lawrence River, then the Ottawa River, the Mattawa River and Georgian Bay to then bypass Lake Superior.
You'll find a few challenges here.

Lieu Historique National du Canal-de-Lachine
There are many info-signs around the area offering tons of historical information about the area, locks and the Lachine Canal.
If you follow the park in front of you, you can walk all the way to the Old Port of Montreal where we have two more scavenger hunts.
15 minutes • Admission Ticket Included
Musee de Lachine
The second building bears the name Maison LeBer-LeMoyne because in 1669, René-Robert Cavelier de La Salle, the lord here, sold these lands to Jacques Le Ber and Charles Lemoyne, two brothers-in-law.
