Canal Rideau Canal / Canal Caledonian Canal



en bateau, pêcher, marcher, profiter de la nature, visiter les musées, goûter l'histoire, patiner en hiver (à Ottawa) et chasser les monstres (au loch Ness).
Canal Rideau

Le canal serpente sur 202 kilomètres à travers un réseau magnifique de lacs, de rivières et de canaux artificiels entre Ottawa et Kingston, située sur le lac Ontario. Terminé en 1832, il devait constituer une voie de rechange au fleuve Saint-Laurent qui était vulnérable aux attaques des Américains.
Le canal offre maintenant un vaste choix d'activités récréatives et d'excursions d'intérêt historique aux visiteurs qui viennent par voie de terre ou par voie d'eau.
Canal Caledonian

Sis dans le magnifique paysage des Haute-Terres d'Écosse, le canal relie une chaîne de lacs naturels et forme la plus belle voie navigable d'Europe. Son point le plus élevé est à 106 pieds au-dessus du niveau de la mer.
Construit par le célèbre ingénieur écossais Thomas Telford, le canal fut terminé en 1822 après les soulèvements jacobites. Dans les premiers temps, il a servi notamment de refuge à la marine contre les attaques de corsaires français; il connut un succès commercial dans les années 1880
