Fort Lennox is a national historic site managed by Parks Canada, located on Île-aux-Noix in the heart of the Richelieu River. This summer, discover or rediscover Fort Lennox NHS!

First, head to the Visitor Center to catch a shuttle bus that will take you directly to the historic site. Then follow the path through the gate to the fort's entrance. Once on site, the journey back in time has just begun.
