Your guide to Ottawa River

All About Ottawa River

With headwaters in the Laurentian Mountains, the Ottawa River in Canada winds its way south, forming a natural border between the territories of Ontario and Quebec. Extending 745 miles in total, this waterway is Canada’s eighth largest river, with enormous historical and cultural value to the cities and provinces along its route.

The Ottawa River runs through 26 national and provincial parks and serves as a recreation resource for the cities it flows through, which include Montreal and the Canadian capital of Ottawa. With over 85 species of fish in the upper and lower portions of the river, including smallmouth bass, the predatory muskellunge, and rainbow trout, fishing this river is a favorite pastime. If you’re staying near the river, take advantage of the angling, whitewater rafting, and kayaking opportunities on the water or merely walk or cycle along its banks.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Ottawa River

One of the best times of the year to book cottage rentals near the Ottawa River is between May and September, when the water is warm enough to enjoy rafting and swimming. In both spring and autumn, the very cool temperatures and rain make the river less accessible for outdoor activity. But in winter, when Ottawa is covered in snow and freezing temperatures, stretches of the river freeze over, and experienced guides can help you find a safe spot to do some ice-fishing.


Top things to do in Ottawa River

Rideau Canal

The 125-mile Rideau Canal was built in Ottawa as a commercial waterway between Lake Ontario and the Ottawa River. The canal became more of a site for boating and leisure activities in the 20th century. In 2007, this stone-walled canal became an UNESCO World Heritage site in recognition of its value as the oldest continuously operated canal system in North America. The best time to visit the Rideau Canal is during winter, when it freezes over and becomes the world’s largest ice-skating rink.

Ottawa River Provincial Park

The Ottawa River is one of the biggest whitewater rafting destinations in Canada. Some of the best spots to raft are along a section of river within Ottawa River Provincial Park, just outside the town of Foresters Falls, a 90-minute drive northwest of the city of Ottawa. Here, you’ll find both gentle courses and thrilling class IV and V rapids.

Voyageur Provincial Park

To see a gentler side of the powerful Ottawa River, head to Voyageur Provincial Park, one hour west of central Montreal. This 3,600-acre park, on the Ontario side of the river, is adjacent to the Carillon Dam, which transformed the upstream waters from rocky, perilous rapids into a placid reservoir. You’ll find swimming spots and two boat launches in the park, as well as canoe rentals.
