The heart of Ottawa, the Rideau Canal
The Rideau Canal is a construction project that began in 1832, and was built for military needs and economic development after the Canadian-American War. It is approximately 202 km long, and connects Ottawa to Lake Ontario in Kingston. The section that crosses downtown Ottawa is the most famous and beloved tourist attraction.
Enjoyable all year round
The Rideau Canal is also a place where you can enjoy various recreational activities. In summer, kayaking, boating, and cruising are popular, and in winter, it is used as a skating spot. Sail the calm waters along the canal that runs through the heart of Ottawa, and enjoy the iconic buildings and green natural landscapes of Ottawa!
