The stunning waterfall that curves like a "Curtain" is called "Rideau" in French. Consequently, the river is also named Rideau after the waterfall. As a result, many locations in Ottawa are named "Rideau" in honor of this natural wonder.
This park is the perfect spot for a leisurely stroll while taking in the breathtaking sunset over the Ottawa River. You can also be entertained by the ducks who patiently walk along the falls' edge in search of food.
Overall, I highly recommend this park as it is truly a beautiful and mesmerizing...

Read moreRideau Falls is an nice place to visit. There is a walkway over the falls and I suggest you enjoy feeling the mist while taking the walk over the bridge and hear the water flowing into the Ottawa river.

If you like my review please give it a thumbs up. That way I can tell if others...
