Skating

Did you know that Ottawa is home to the largest naturally frozen skating rink in the world, as designated by Guinness World Records?

People come from around the world to glide along the Rideau Canal Skateway’s 7.8 kilometres (4.8 miles), which stretch from Ottawa’s downtown core to Dows Lake, its largest surface. According to the National Capital Commission (NCC), the Skateway hosts a daily average of 19,000 visitors during the winter months. So if you’re coming to Ottawa over the winter season, this is something you don’t want to miss! Access to the Skateway is FREE.
