The Rideau Canal is open for skating between Somerset Street and Bank Street Bridge. After the big thaw, I was beginning to wonder if it would be open by March of this year. I have created a map showing the section of the canal that is open for skating at the following link:
I have just launched the Rideau community web site. This is an interactive Wiki based web site where anyone can add information related to the Rideau River, or the Rideau Canal. Many photos have been uploaded, and I will be adding much more information over the coming months. The next big addition will be a forums section where people can discuss any topics related to the Rideau.
The main web site is located at www.therideau.com. There are links to all of the main sections from the main web page, and also a link on how to add information to the web site. Take a look around, add some information, and please provide feedback in the guestbook.
Here are a few sample photos from the web site:
