Ottawa River Pathway follows the shoreline of the Ottawa River for roughly 40 kilometres, stretching across Ottawa through parks, waterfront green spaces, and scenic neighbourhoods. It is a popular shared route for walking, running, and cycling, with mostly paved surfaces, river viewpoints, beaches, and places to pause along the way. This eastern section between Rockcliffe and Hiawatha Park offers beautiful river views, with several spots to stop and enjoy the water.
