Rideau Canal Unmissables
The Rideau Canal, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, serves as the historic backbone of Ottawa’s landscape. This collection spans the canal’s northern terminus at the Ottawa River locks, overlooked by the Gothic Revival architecture of Parliament Hill and the Bytown Museum. The route follows the waterway through urban green spaces like Major’s Hill Park and Dow’s Lake to the artificial cascades of Prince of Wales Falls. Nearby cultural landmarks, including the Supreme Court of Canada and the Central Experimental Farm, highlight the canal’s integration into the capital’s civic and agricultural history.
