Six lanes of 13.5 m for rowing, nine lanes nine metres wide for canoeing competitions.

2,180m x 110 m with a constant depth of 2.3 m

Interesting: To diminish wind action in the competition zone, the water in the basin can be maintained at a level lower than that of the St. Lawrence River.

One of the best equipped rowing and canoeing basins in the world.
