Rideau Canal National Historic Site, Ottawa

Beautiful spot for a stroll. Great place to see the changing of the leaves as it reflects the water in the canal. In the winter, the canal turns into a skating rink where people can skate for miles. Wonderful spot to take photos of the reflections and just mindlessly walk around without worrying about traffic.

Rideau Canal - Ottawa. Two words suffice - an artist’s canvas . This was one of our spots to be visited during our Ottawa day trip and turned out be most rejuvenating and enjoying. As we disembarked our vehicles and moved out the tulips on sidewalks were welcoming to the stunning pathway that led us to the over bridge on the river. As we walked pass the display board, the river and walkways offered pleasing views of surroundings and Ottawa skyline. Cruise 🚢 rides option available if you can spare 2 to 3 hrs. Else an half an hour stroll across the river bridge and side ways suffice. Soak in the clean air, soothing environment and well laid walkway along and around the spot. Enjoy.
