A major waterway running through eastern Ontario, the Rideau River flows year-round from Upper Rideau Lake to the Ottawa River. Along the Riverside South and Barrhaven sections, the river sits beside a mix of residential areas, pockets of forest, and open shoreline. It’s a consistent reference point for local routes, offering small lookouts, wildlife viewing, and spots where you can step close to the water. Multi-use paths in the area often parallel short stretches of the river, making it a useful natural landmark for walkers, runners, and cyclists.
