Everything about The Rideau River totally explained
The
Rideau River is a
Canadian river which flows north from
Upper Rideau Lake and empties into the
Ottawa River at
Rideau Falls in
Ottawa, Ontario. Its length is
146 km. The river was given the French name "Rideau" (curtain) after the appearance of this waterfall.
The
Rideau Canal, which allows travel from Ottawa to the city of
Kingston, Ontario on
Lake Ontario, was formed by joining the Rideau River with the
Cataraqui River. The river diverges from the Canal at
Hog's Back Falls in Ottawa.
In early spring, to reduce flooding on the lower section of the river, workers from the city of Ottawa use
ice blasting to clear the ice which covers the river from
Billings Bridge to Rideau Falls by cutting "keys" through the ice and using
explosives to break off large sheets of ice.
