Rockcliffe Airport is a small airfield nestled right along the river and is one of Canada’s oldest active airports. Originally established as a military air station in the early 20th century, it played an important role in Ottawa’s aviation history and sits next to the Canada Aviation and Space Museum. From the trail, you can look across the open airfield and may even spot small aircraft taking off, landing, or moving along the runway.
