 Lakeside oasis year round |
1001 Queen Elizabeth Driveway Ottawa, ON K1S 5K7 Canada +1 613 232 1001 http://www.dowslake.com/ |
This large pavilion at the edge of the Rideau Canal's picturesque Dows Lake offers relaxation and recreation. Two restaurants with large patios offer casual food, drinks and a wonderful view, while a full-service marina offers fuel, pump out and slip rentals. In winter, the lake becomes part of the Rideau Canal skating rink and the pavilion rents a variety of winter sports equipment, including skates, sleighs and cross-country skis. During the summer, the marina rents canoes, paddleboats and inline skates. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Water Artery |
1125 Colonel By Drive Ottawa, ON K1S 5B8 Canada +1 613 283 5170 / +1 800 230 0016 http://www.rideau-info.com/ |
Built between 1827 and 1832 without the aid of power machinery, the Canal is one of Ottawa's oldest landmarks; it runs from the Ottawa River near Parliament Hill to Hog's Back Falls on the south end of the city. During the summer a wide range of vessels, including tour boats, glide along the waterway, while people in-line skate, jog or stroll on the canal's picturesque banks. During the winter, the canal is transformed into the "World's Longest Skating Rink," and is a hub of activity during Ottawa's Winterlude festival. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Rideau Falls |
Sussex Drive Ottawa, ON K1A 0A1 Canada |
Located across from Ottawa City Hall on Sussex Drive, these pretty falls mark the end of the Rideau River's journey from the St. Lawerence River. Although not as spectacular as Hog's Back Falls, the Rideau Falls are still picturesque in their own right, especially when they are shimmering lit up at night. The falls are located in Rideau Falls Park, within walking distance of 24 Sussex Drive and Rideau Hall. Review © 2007, Wcities |
