    Cycle (or skate) the Rideau Canal

    Posted by epidavros 17 September 2005

    Originally built as a supply route (via the Ottawa River) between Montreal and the Great Lakes in the event of an invasion by the US that never happened, it is the longest working canal in North America and - in winter - the longest skating rink in the world.

    You can rent bikes or skates at the canal near the Chateau Laurier Hotel.
