Cycling Ottawa's 200th Anniversary, self-guided

In 2026, Ottawa marks its 200th anniversary, a historic chance to ride its prestigious pathway network at your own pace and over whatever distance you like. The route sets off right at the doorstep of the Rideau Canal. There are no roads or traffic to contend with here, so you can fully enjoy the parklands and waterways. Along the way you'll take in the Rideau Canal, Rideau Falls, Hog's Back Falls, the Arboretum, the Central Farm, and the Rideau, Ottawa and Gatineau Rivers. Our community is safe and welcoming toward visitors. Easy to follow, the pathways trace the four major waterways. We offer light, easy-to-handle Giant bikes, available in five expertly fitted sizes, with an electric-assist upgrade on offer as well. Our personal directions and map are guaranteed. And because there's no guide to arrange, the whole thing costs LESS!

• Duration: up to 4 hours, 15 km to 25 km
