ABOUT THIS REGION  WALKING TOURS

Walking tour of the Rideau Canal

Enjoy this walking tour of the Rideau Canal from Ottawa to Kingston. The Rideau Canal was cut through the wild and beautiful areas of the Frontenac Axis to provide an alternative to the St. Lawrence in case of attack from the Americans. Happily, it was never used for that purpose and has become a well-used recreational waterway. It extends from Ottawa to Kingston and you will use it as the general direction of the walking tour while making side trips to take advantage of the unique attractions, historic sites and natural resources of the area.

Walking tour of the Rideau Canal

The Frontenac Axis is an arm of the PreCambrian Shield which extends south to the Kingston area; its edges provide some rugged escarpments for some challenging hiking and stunning views. The Rideau Trail cuts through the area and links a number of provincial parks and conservation areas. You will hike the most interesting of the trails available. You will explore some of Rideau's river valleys and rolling farmlands, walk along quartzite ridges, walk along quartzite ridges, look out over the countryside from a number of high points and enjoy the urban landscape of Ottawa along the Ottawa River and Kingston along Lake Ontario. A tour of architectural gems, canal lock sites and the museum in Smiths Falls will bring alive the history of the area.
