About
A key link in the 200 km Capital Pathway network, running along the Ottawa River below Parliament Hill and the Supreme Court; the section reopened in 2026 after escarpment work. It gives direct access to the popular East Wharf dock and connects to pathways east and west along the river. The pathway is free to ride or walk, with leashed dogs allowed; it is not cleared of snow in winter.
