About
The Rideau Canal Skateway turns the frozen canal into a long skating path right through the heart of Ottawa, from downtown to Dows Lake. Skating here past the city skyline is one of the great Canadian winter experiences. The season usually runs from January to early March depending on the weather, and when it is open it is accessible 24 hours a day. Skating is free; check the NCC ice conditions page before you go.
