Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue Canal, Historic canal system in Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue, Canada.

The Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue Canal connects Lake Saint-Louis to Lake of Two Mountains through a lock system at the western tip of Montreal Island.

Construction of the first canal lock began in 1840 and completed in 1843, with a second lock added between 1879 and 1882 for lumber transportation.

The canal promenade features local musicians, street performances, and seasonal activities that bring the community together throughout summer months.

The canal lock measures 54.86 meters in length, 12.19 meters in width, and lifts boats by 1 meter to facilitate navigation between different water levels.

Parks Canada maintains this national historic site, which attracted 181,000 visitors and served 23,000 boaters in 2003 through its navigation system.
