Rideau Waterway & Canal (1832)
United Nations (UNESCO) World Heritage Site
2007 marked the 175th anniversary of completion of the Rideau Waterway from Ottawa to Kingston. The Rideau Waterway is a National Historical Site of Canada. In 2008 it was designated a World Heritage Site by the United Nations (UNESCO).
The canal was built to connect the rivers and lakes from Ottawa to Kingston, Ontario. The Rideau River runs through the heart of Manotick. It is a recreational jewel used in summer for fishing, boating, swimming, and shore-side picnics, and festivals. When much of it turns to ice in winter, it is used for walking, skiing, snowmobiling, skating and ice fishing.
