Rideau-info.com Website Review

The Rideau Can*l is a visitor's paradise with its many historic lockstations and 202 kilometres (125 mile) of scenic waterway. The rivers connected by can*ls. It stretches from Kingston, at the foot of Lake Ontario, to Ottawa, Canada's capital. Maintained by Canada's Parks service it is arguably the most scenic and historic waterway in North America. Whether you visit by boat, car, bicycle or on foot, the The Rideau Can*l is living history. It is the oldest continuously operated can*l in North America and the locks are operated today much as they were when first opened in 1832. Each lock is unique and the lock staff are always ready to offer the visitor any as*istance they can. Most locks provide washrooms, overnight mooring and picnic facilities, including tables, benches and barbecue grills. You can visit the Rideau in a number of ways. A boat is of course best to get the full ambiance of the region. The Rideau also makes for a wonderful driving trip, with many scenic roads winding their way through the heart of Old Ontario. So, whatever your vacation includes a lot of history). I also edited and produced the 1839 to 1850 journal of Lockmaster Peter Sweeney (The Sweeney Diary).
