Rideau Canal Eastern Pathway

Highlight (Segment) • River

A popular park trail locals love to cruise. The trail offers a scenery of well-kept parklands and watercraft activity on the canal. Well-maintained and flat. One has a choice of making it a loop, as there are paths on both sides of the canal for most of the way.
