Meet at the Fort Chambly National Historic Site, 2 rue de Richelieu, Chambly, in parking lot #1. Parking Fee: $6 (Credit card only).
We will begin at the rapids area on the Chambly Basin located behind the fort. We will then drive south along Highway 223, following the Richelieu River to St-Jean-sur-Richelieu where we will make several stops at observation points along the riverfront.
To get there: From Montreal, take the Champlain Bridge to the South Shore. Continue on Autoroute 10-Eastern Townships Autoroute. Take Exit 22-Autoroute 35 – Direction Chambly. Drive on Aut. 35 (Boul. Frechette) to the intersection with av. de Bourgogne. Turn right on av. de Bourgogne and follow it along until you cross a small bridge over the Chambly Canal. The entrance to the Fort Chambly parking will be on your left past the bridge.
Half-day driving trip, with short walks.
Amenities & accessibility: No washrooms - we will attempt a pit stop along the way but no guarantee! Parking ($).
