The Rideau Canal Skateway

This winter kicks off the 40th skating season of the Rideau Canal Skateway!

 

Throughout the years, people of all ages have enjoyed the Rideau Canal Skateway — on sled, on foot, and of course, on skates! In winter, this historic navigable waterway becomes the world's largest skating rink and a magical 7.8-kilometre skateway of ice, in the very heart of Canada’s Capital. During Winterlude, the Rideau Canal Skateway is the site of the Winterlude Triathlon, the Bedzzz Annual Bed Race, skating demonstrations, workshops and much more.

Visit the Rideau Canal Skateway Official Website for ice condition updates, videos and a virtual tour.
