![]() Paddling, whether by canoe, kayak or other muscle driven conveyance, is a great low impact way to travel all or part of the Rideau Canal. It also affords the best opportunity for quiet wildlife viewing. The Rideau is ideally suited to paddling with lots of access points, lots of camping areas (most of the lockstations plus private and public campgrounds), easy access to supplies and easy access to help. The landscapes along the Rideau are varied; natural, rural and urban. Whether you like viewing loons and turtles and/or the architecture of boathouses and cottages, the Rideau has something for everyone. Each of the following paddling guides contains a detailed map that can be used for route planning. Although primarily intended as route guides for day/weekend trips, the maps are at the same scale (1:50,000) and overlap each other, and so can be used for longer route planning. Note: the information in this section has been taken, with permission, from the paddling section on Ken Watson's Rideau website at www.rideau-info.com/canal/paddling/ UPDATE updated v.2.0 guides have been posted - new maps and many more Points of Interest.
