Tips

The Rideau Canal connects the capital Ottawa with the city of Kingston on Lake Ontario. The 202 km long canal, named after the Rideau River, was opened in 1832 and is the oldest continuously used artificial waterway in North America. In 2007, UNESCO declared the Rideau Canal a World Heritage Site.
The original purpose of the Rideau Canal was military. The canal was intended to provide a safe supply and communication route between Montreal and Kingston. John By led the construction work, which lasted 5 years and was completed at the end of 1831.
