The Beautiful Rideau Canada

There is nothing like Skating on the Rideau Canal in the winter or just going for a relaxing boat ride in the summer. The Rideau is quite unique for North America because this long and winding canal goes right through the city of Ottawa and filters into the Ottawa river. Taking a boat ride will bring you through Ottawa's beautiful neighbourhoods and the downtown core of Ottawa. Continuing further south and out of the city will bring you all the way to Kingston and Lake Ontario but this is more than 100 km away. However, if you choose to trek this far there is a lot of beautiful nature and the fishing is quite good.
