Very nice stop in a great town. The wall is on the west side of the canal, not the east as stated in the previous review. Check in with the lock staff to pay for electric ($10) or dockage, if you don't have a park pass, and get the bathroom code for after hours use. They will probably come to you..There is a small lock museum at the flight and Fort Chambly is an excellent place to visit. There is also a large grocery store (Maxi) about 100 yards from the wall.

This is a "free" dock (wall) if you have a Parks Canada moorage permit. The dock is on the east wall. There is room for six 40' boats. The part of the wall farthest from the lock is closed and no docking is allowed. There are five power pedestals - each having two 30A outlets. There are no 50A outlets. We used two 30A outlets (you pay per outlet). There are two ice-cream shops within one block of the dock. There are two good grocery stores with three blocks of the dock. There are many restaurants within three or four blocks. Fort Chambly is a short walk - and well worth seeing. There is also a free dock (without power) on the lower side of the lock. This is a great stop!
