Rideau TrailThe Rideau Trail is a 387 km hiking trail linking Ottawa, Ontario and Kingston, Ontario. Running across a mixture of public and private lands, the trail was created and opened in 1971. It is named for the Rideau Canal which also connects Ottawa and Kingston, although the two only occasionally connect. The trail crosses terrain ranging from the placid farmland of the Ottawa River and Saint Lawrence River valleys to the rugged Canadian Shield in Frontenac Park. It is only intended for walking (hiking), snowshoeing, and cross-country skiing. The trail is maintained by a non-profit organisation, the Rideau Trail Association, who organise both regular hikes along the trail (and other nearby trails) and work parties for maintenance.
