Ottawa is the primary gateway to eastern Ontario and offers a wide array
of activities. The most diverse region of our province, eastern
Ontario offers travellers a rich variety of experiences. The scenic 200-kilometre
Rideau Waterway connects Ottawa to
Kingston
and the Rideau Heritage Route along the Waterway is an excellent holiday
by road or by water. Delightful villages along the waterway offer historic
museums, limestone shopping districts and superb antique shops. You may
want to take a cruise into the famous
1000
Islands, (yes the salad dressing was named after these islands) and
experience a sunset dinner during the summer months. Don't forget about
Upper
Canada Village just outside of Morrisburg about 45 minutes south of
Ottawa. If you are heading to Toronto dont miss the
CN
Tower.
