Kayaking the Rideau Canal | Paddle Tales

Описание: Growing up in Canada’s Capital City of Ottawa, the Rideau Canal was part of my childhood, as it’s an integral part of the city. A UNESCO world heritage site, the canal runs through the heart of the city and alongside a variety of iconic structures, including Canada’s Parliament Buildings.

In the summer, the canal is an ideal route for boaters, paddlers, hikers and bikers. But despite its significance to the city of Ottawa, surprisingly few people (myself included) have explored more than a few miles of the Rideau Canal, often overlooking the full 126 miles of the route which winds its way through Eastern Ontario. So when the opportunity to experience a new section of this historical waterway presented itself to me, I grabbed my paddle and jumped at the chance.
