Nice view of the falls and the Ottawa River. Open to the public year round at all hours. It is never crowded - You'll most likely be all by your self to enjoy the sight.

It is not Niagara Falls but a good spot to see.

Great view of the Rideau falls. Path is accessible by walk or bike. Great place to go running.

Have you ever seen a frozen waterfall before? Hog's Back Falls and Rideau Falls (at Sussex Drive) are a couple of easily accessible frozen waterfalls that are great too check-out and easily paired with a nice wintry walk along Mooney's Bay or Vincent Massey Park, or if at Rideau - a walk to Rideau Hall or Stanley Park.
