And you can then come back by the cycleway along the St. Lawrence shore.
I find it less uniform than the Canal Lachine. You will see the
impressive Lachine rapids (you can stop at the Parc des Rapides to look
at them more closely).
Here is the full itinerary I suggest :
https://graphhopper.com/maps/?point=45.495398%2C-73.553123&point=45.428817%2C-73.689079&point=45.427371%2C-73.593979&point=45.468077%2C-73.55999&point=45.495398%2C-73.553123&locale=fr-FR&vehicle=bike&weighting=fastest&elevation=true&use_miles=false&layer=Omniscale
The Parc des Rapides is at the waypoint #2.
Have a good ride!
