As part of its tours, H20 Adventures offer SUP (stand-up paddleboarding) and kayak lessons and guided tours.
“Join us as we explore the beautifully restored and rejuvenated Lachine Canal,” says the company. Guests can also learn the origins of SUP, the proper equipment and safety requirements, different paddling techniques, and the importance of stability.
H20 Adventures says paddlers and kayakers can discover the “interesting nooks and crannies that make-up the historic ‘Cradle of Industrialization.'”
It also helps to witness the majestic birds, turtles, and beavers that call the canal home while soaking up some unprecedented views of the Montreal skyline.
If it’s not already, make sure exploring the canal part is on this summer’s must-do radar.
