Tips from locals
A beautiful historic site in the heart of Ottawa. Close to the market it's the start of the Rideau Canal.
Visit Rideau Canal lock 1 -8 next to Parliament Hills and see how they work to let boats go up the canal.
The base of the canal at the foot of Chateau Laurier, offers exceptional vistas of the Ottawa river, boat tours and a small museum in summer - the locks are a world heritage site. Beautiful place to run, to enjoy a walk or a bike ride along the Ottawa River.
