What to do in Ottawa
The Canadian capital Ottawa is an attractive, accessible city with great museums, natural beauty, and bountiful year-round recreation, much of it centered on the Rideau Canal. Located one hour's drive north of the U.S. border at Ogdensburg, New York, and a two-hour drive west of Montréal, Ottawa has much to offer families.
In winter, the 125-mile Rideau Canal, connecting the Ottawa River and the city of Kingston on the St. Lawrence River, turns into the world's longest ice-skating rink as locals and tourists glide along the 4.8 miles that meander through downtown Ottawa. In summer, canoe the canal or bike and hike along its banks.
