Rideau Falls

(Attractions & Activities - Sightseeing)

Sussex Dr, Ottawa

Distance: ~1.874 km from Fairmont Chateau Laurier

Description: Once you've seen these beautiful falls with the downtown skyline in the background, it's easy to see why Ottawa's second-leading industry is tourism. Cross over the bridge to Green Island, and you can see the second section of falls. In the wintertime, the falls freeze, seeming to take on a curtain-like appearance ("rideau" means "curtain" in French). For the best vantage point of the falls, park next to the French Embassy on Sussex and make your way down to the park area.
