Rideau Canal National Historic Site

Amazingly scenic! A fantastic spot to enjoy the beauty of nature.

Love the Rideau Canal. People around Ottawa are nice and more than willing to help you find entrances to the skateway. The Beaver Tails were open and had quick service. Ice was smooth and well maintained. Will be back next year!

Beautiful day on the worlds longest skating rink. Beaver tails and hot toddies! Was busy but alot of places to get on and off.

What an amazing canal going through the heart of Ottawa with awesome views of the city the whole way. Super romantic trail system (especially at sunset) along the canal edge for a nice walk or ride, with breathtaking sites of parliament and all the historic buildings and architecture of Ottawa. There are boat tours you can go on and skating in the winter months. Definitely check this out if your in Ottawa you can't miss it and definitely a historic site to see.

Perfect place to view the beginning of the Rideau Canal, how boats goes in and out from or to the Ottawa river. Nice trailbehind the parliament and a gift shop with nice souvenirs. In 2019, a groundhog was very friendly and we could feed it.
