Ottawa is interlaced with a huge network of paved recreational pathways that wind through parks and along parkways, next to the Rideau Canal and Ottawa River, and across the river to Gatineau Park – a favourite for hardcore and recreational cyclists and hikers of all abilities – alike.
There are also summertime cycling trails at many local ski hills and resorts. Many Ottawa streets also include bike-only lanes for safe cycling. So if you're coming to the Capital, rent a bike here or bring your own. It's a clean and green way to see the sights!
