The highlight of the city ! Wonderful at any time of the year and day. Name an activity and you can do it there... Dont forget to stop by the locks and enjoy the view on the Ottawa river

It is as beautiful during the summer as it is during the winter. Take a nice stroll and sit on a bench to watch the boat go by. Or take a tour on one of the boat.

The canal freezes&opens for skating in the winter when the temperatures reach -30 degrees Celsius; in the warmer months it's a great walking trail ; not a lot of businesses on the side of the water

While cycling, boating or picnicking along the meandering World Heritage Site be sure to note the vestiges of years gone by, such as old stone walls and locks that still open by hand cranks. Read more

Park near 4th or 5th avenue in the Glebe and strap on your skates by the Canal Ritz. Skate down past Lansdown to Dow's Lake . Stop for hot chocolate and beaver tails there. Read more

Be sure to see the Rideau Canal in the winter! The entire canal becomes the "World's Longest Skating Rink ". Perfect place for a wonderful winter date! ;)

One of the best places to go for a run in the summer or just sit and clear your mind.

Nice patio view of the canal while enjoying a glass of wine in hot days

Or if you are not great on skates , bring your kicksled (Spark in Norwegian)Can't go through a winter in Ottawa without going down to the canal at least once, and skate/sled & have beavertails ...

I got a cruise tour and it was fairly interesting. we learned a lot about the buildings around

Great walk. Strong history. Lots of shade and breezes on hot days.

Nice view , interesting boats, beautiful place!

Nice walking trail during the warmer months

You should really check our the roof top area. Trees and gardens . Probably should wait till summer though

Historic 202km waterway between Ottawa and Kingston. Some of the best paddling in Ontario.

Skate on it in winter and run along its banks in the summer. A beautiful venue anytime of the year.

UNESCO listed World Heritage Site

Be sure to stick to the right on the bike paths .

Great for running

Have a beaver tail and hot chocolate . Certainly deserved after skating on the world's longest skating rink !

It is gorgeous and great place for summer time walks!

Nice place for a stroll on a hot day.

In march, you have to skate on the canal and eat a Beaver Tail !

The fastest way to wake up in Ottawa is with a sprint along the #rideaucanal: My ME Time!

The pathway along queen elizabeth is really icy today. Nearly wiped out several times. Be careful!

Skating on the canal is my favourite thing about Canada!

Bring a backpack and plastic bags to carry your boots in while you skate . It'll keep your boots warmer!

Park at the World Exchange plaza at th corner of Metcalf and Albert then walk the two blocks over. It's free parking on the weekends.

Go for a walk or enjoy a boat ride !

Used to be the world's longest skating rink . Now it's the world's largest skating rink . Blame Winnipeg.

Nice walk, but not in winter.

Don't forget to bring a towel!

go there and skate before it melts down.and grab some beaver tails and hot choc along the way

If you have time sit and watch the lock's in operation. It's pretty interesting and the Locks are operated by hand.

Skating on the rideau canal , walking ,

Check out the locks

A place to run.

Excelent place to skate , the longest in the world

Skating ice

Don't swim here :-)

Go to the Canal . Skate and get beavertails . Ask for nutella . Miam! Read more

Don't fall in.

Nasty coffee !!

Worst skates ever at capital skate rentals. So dull I couldn't even leave a mark on me if I tried. Terrible and way overpriced at $16. Butly your own at goodwill for under $15 then redonate.

Beavertails are awesome!!!

Is just in front of my house

No Winterlude crowds before 10am.

Worlds longest outdoor skating rink

Para os brasileiros novatos de plantão: andar aqui as 00:13 é seguro!

Passear com a brisa no rosto.
