J	John Freamo on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Nice trail. Well-maintained by the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority. There are outhouses at the trailhead. Beautiful spot for a walk on a sunny day. Lots of wildlife. Much of the trail is very close to Prince of Wales Drive, so you're never very far from the street noise.
R	Rebecca Pierce on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It's a lovely place to go clear your head and get fresh air from being in the city. Sometimes it is a bit too busy for my liking, but ho hum!
R	Raj P on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Nice area for a walk. Board walk is really nice. There are water facing benches along the way. Great view of the Rideau river and Barrhaven Vimy memorial bridge. You will see mostly walkers but once in a while you will bump into bikers which can be bit challenging. Finding parking can be bit challenging but if you are willing to walk a bit you can park at Riverside park and go to this trail via bridge.
M	M F on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ So nice to hear the birds again, although I think a nature security person should be hired to do rounds, I don't think fishing is allowed here! Here are some spring pics after the snow has melted and the red winged black birds are trying to impress some ladies... Although not green and colourful yet, there's still much beauty and peace to behold in a walk in nature. I've seen people rush by, and probably not even be aware of the pretty sites. If your taking the time to go, take the time to take it all in as well... Explore...
R	Robert Fleming on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This is one of the reasons why I love Ottawa. In the middle of an urban neighbourhood, you can find marshes and wetlands, and a nice place to go for a walk. Along the boardwalk, you’ll find many places to stop and rest, and enjoy the view.
S	Shayan Shafique on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great place for a fun and easy hike along the boardwalk. When it’s hot, you can sit under the bridge to cool off. If you are feeling adventurous you can go kayaking as well!
k	kazumi makwana on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Nice short photogenic trail. mostly broadwalk so stroller friendly. Lots of small creatures to see, though I did not find turtle. Trail closely connected to highway so car noise among the chirping birds. I don't think fishing is allowed here but saw ppl fishing. there should be authorities to watch.
J	Jacquelynn Arseneault on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great place to take out your kayak or paddle board. Lots of parking available and just a short walk to the dock. There is even a pavilion with lots of picnic tables. We saw lots of walkers, kayakers and people just there to relax by the water. There is a pathway but we did not go for a walk. Next time! Highly recommend if you are looking for somewhere to take your kayak out.
