Rideau Falls

Highlight • Waterfall

Rideau Falls marks the scenic finale of the Rideau River where it drops into the Ottawa River. These twin waterfalls, were described as appearing like curtains by early French explorers, which then gave the name to the river and falls since rideau is French for curtain. Accessible by a network of riverside paths, the area offers a great vantage point to see the water’s power against the backdrop of the capital’s historic sites and parkland.
