What is your favorite place to go in your city?
By Tracy Schruder
My favourite place in Smith’s Falls, Ontario, is along the Rideau Canal.
In our town there’s a beautiful limestone pathway that runs alongside the Rideau Canal and the lock bridges.
It starts at Victoria (the airplane Park) and Turtle Island, then stretches all the way through the locks, ending at Lower Reach Park.
During your walk you’ll pass several parks and picnic areas, cross busy streets and intersections, and eventually be rewarded with a stunning park landscape complete with docks and shorelines. At its base an opening reveals the beautiful Rideau River.
It’s a great spot for a stroll or a day out with your favourite people. Facilities are located at both ends, so you never have to worry about a bathroom break. There’s a beach section, an adult swimming area, a community hall, plenty of lovely bridges to cross, and historic buildings all around you on the journey through the park.
