Introduction

The Ottawa River is located in the northern part of Ottawa, Canada, separating the cities of Ottawa and Gatineau. It is also a natural border between the provinces of Ontario and Quebec. The river is named "big river" in the language of the Algonquin people, and the water flow is fast and turbulent in the Ottawa section, in sharp contrast to the gentle and calm Rideau Canal. The Ottawa River is suitable for adventurous white-water rafting, while the Rideau Canal is perfect for leisurely boat rides. Visitors can enjoy both types of water flows from the Nepean Lookout Point. Along the riverside on the south shore of the Ottawa River is the Ottawa River Pathway, where visitors can drive to any section and enjoy the beautiful views of the riverbank. Additionally, visitors can experience the charm of the Ottawa River up close by taking a water and land amphibious vehicle tour with Lady Dive Tours.
