Hog's Back Falls
Hog's Back Falls is a rocky drop on the Rideau River near the canal's divergence. Park viewpoints and wooded paths provide several angles on the moving water.
The falls make the separation of river and engineered canal easier to grasp on the ground. Walk between safe viewpoints to compare the rock ledge, currents, and banks; water levels change the scene considerably. It suits a dedicated south-of-centre outing with outdoor time rather than a quick downtown detour.
What to look for
Rock ledge and churning Rideau River
Multiple viewpoints along wooded park paths
Useful to know
Stay behind barriers, expect slippery surfaces near spray, and make this a separate south-of-centre outing.
