As a result of the opening of the Saint-Ours Canal in 1849, boats were able to bypass the final obstacle on the waterway between Montreal and New York. Called the tenth lock on the Richelieu, the canal would prove indispensable to international, regional and local trade for over a century.
Today, the Saint-Ours canal is a place of relaxation and a resort that offers an exceptional setting as well as magnificent views of the Richelieu River. Recreational boaters, strollers and oTENTik campers flock to the site each year to take advantage of this unique setting.
