Rideau canal pathway, you can enjoy walking and biking looking at some beautiful iconic buildings in the city like the Fairmont hotel…
One of the best Canals I ever seen, clean paths you can walk and see the beautiful park from both sides, and I like a lot Ottawa U side.
You can go by boat as will and join the canal from North to South.
I cannot wait winter season to see the nice side of this Canal.

3* For historical reasons and location.
Lots of history and significance here in the Ottawa section of the Rideau Canal. Most certainly not presented well. There is no visitor center. There are several plaques down by the water. There is also a water taxi to cross over to the Quebec side. $$
The surrounding buildings are magnificent and every different angle was appreciated. It is in the busier business/tourist area of the city so you have to park and walk. Or, come in from elsewhere another way. Everything about Ottawa is in the vicinity. It's gotta be a short stop on your trip through the town.
Parks Canada 🇨🇦 does not seem to be keeping this area up or not being provided a budget for what should be a tourism hub.

Beautiful canal in the middle of the city. Very nice for a walk, bike ride around or to experience by a boat
Rideau Canal is one of the most defining elements of the city of Ottawa. In many ways, Ottawa would probably not be the capital city of Canada if not of the canal. The canal was created as an alternative lifeline to the St-Lawrence seaway in order to ensure that commercial and military supplies would continue to flow freely in case the seaway was cut off. The canal is still heavily used, especially during the summer, albeit more for tourism. Take a walk along the canal in the downtown section. The perspectives are breathtaking!
There is a boat tour in here. Turns into a skating rink during winter. Seems shallow. A Unesco heritage site and a good place to chill and relax after having a tour by foot on ottawa downtown
Absolutely amazing!Never seen anything like it in my entire life where the water is being controlled in sections absolutely amazing
