The Historic Rideau Canal

For history lovers and those looking for a relaxing, scenic drive, the Rideau Canal route is perfection. Designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site, this waterway connects Ottawa to Kingston and is an engineering marvel.

This route is ideal for first-time RV renters or families with young children. The driving distances are short (less than 2 hours between stops), the campgrounds are often located right by the historic "Lock Stations," and the swimming in the clean lakes is fantastic.
