Rideau Canal
Explore one of the city’s top attractions after your Orlando to Ottawa flight. The Rideau Canal is a 125-mile waterway and the oldest continuously operated canal in North America. Running from Kingston to Ottawa, the Canal connects the Ottawa River, Rideau River and Lake Ontario.
Locals and visitors love the Rideau Canal for all the recreational activities it offers like boating and paddling. If you prefer to kick back and relax, book a boat cruise for a different perspective of the city from the water. The trails along the waterway are popular for biking, jogging and scenic strolls.
The canal also transforms into the world’s largest naturally frozen skating rink in the winter! Glide along the skateway and make pit stops at some of the many food vendors to warm up and recharge – this is a must-do activity if you’re taking a flight from Orlando to Ottawa in the winter.
For a meal with great scenery, just grab a seat at one of the many restaurants that overlook the Rideau Canal. Dine right by the water at Canal Ritz or enjoy views from above at La Terrasse.
