Rideau Canal by boat
The Canal is generally open to boat traffic from May 20 to October 12. It can be covered in as little as three days by boat, but this won't leave you much time to enjoy the sights. In winter, an 8-kilometer section of the canal in Ottawa is transformed into the world's longest skating rink.
Maximum permitted dimensions are 27.4 m (90 ft) length, 7.9m (26 ft) width, and 6.7m (22 ft) height. Water depth is maintained at 1.5 metres (5.0 feet) minimum, although draught of over 1.2m is not recommended.
