Cycling and walking on the trails

If you like cycling, the trails around Rideau Canal and Rideau River in Ottawa are breathtaking. The trails around the Ottawa River on both Ottawa and Gatineau sides are world famous. Some of the trails in Gatineau Park are harder because of the slops and designs. On the Gatineau side, the trails to Lake Leamy Park and La Baie Park are worth visiting. On Rue Jacques Cartier, you will see the Parliament and the Ottawa River on the well-paved trails.
