The Depot, located at 37 St. John Street on the waterfront adjacent to the Blockhouse in Merrickville, is our main retail outlet and Rideau interpretive centre. The Depot is open daily, from mid-June through to the end of September. At The Depot, your hosts, Dave and Jeanne Brett will be more than happy to provide you with any Rideau information that you may require. We also offer an array of retail items. Proceeds from the sale of these items helps to fund the work of the Friends of the Rideau. Items offered for sale include:
 The Depot also offers a wide array of tourist literature for the region and lots of free advice on how you can make your Rideau visit more enjoyable. There is a small theatre in which you can view Parks Canada videos about the Rideau. In addition, Dave Brett often keeps his canal narrowboat, the "Iron Duke" moored on the waterfront next to the Depot. It is one of only two narrowboats on the Rideau. Take a few moments to have a look.
And if you gotta go ... it is reputed that we have the nicest public washroom facility in Merrickville. 613-269-9333 (June-September) (10 am to 7 pm EDT)  The Depot in 1905 (it looks much nicer today)
