Review:
The Rideau Canal is a 19th-century historic waterway that was expeditiously constructed during a time of military threat, connecting a picturesque string of lakes and rivers.
Today, it serves as an outdoor playground that provides a diverse collection of activities, where history perfectly blends with the tranquil Eastern Ontario countryside.
Visitors can, kayak, canoe, or motor boat along this lock system any day of the week. Swimming at one of the sandy beaches and doing a little sport fishing are also common along the canal.
It is even an ideal camping destination thanks to the lush greenery that surrounds the area, and offers plenty of cycling and hiking trails.
