Tips

April 6, 2026

This trail follows along the banks of its namesake river for nearly 12 kilometers between Rideau Falls and the Rideau Canal at Hogs Back Falls. Along its path you'll pass through many parks and multiple bridges that can take you across the river. As such you can take this as an out and back route or take one of the bridges to the opposite side and create a nice loop.
