Kayaking at Ottawa River Canada
Ottawa, Canada is the banks of the Ottawa River which provides most fascinating water activities such as kayaking, canoeing, or boat riding. The well-known place for tourists at this area is Rideau Canal. This canal winding through the heart of the city was aptly declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
If you fancy seeing the city while gliding through the waterway, you can go board one of the many cruise and pleasure craft available in the area. The Ottawa river especially at Rideau Canal is also something to behold during winter as it transforms into the world’s largest naturally frozen skating rink.
Way back when in February I went to the Outdoor Adventure Show and I twisted my friend Leslie’s arm to go on a learn-how-to-kayak weekend with me. We booked 2 days including meals, kayaking lessons and camping accommodation with a company called Equinox Adventures that has a rafting and kayaking camp located on Calumet Island in the Ottawa River.
