The Rideau Canal Waterway, which flows between Ottawa and Kingston, constitutes one of the triumphs of early nineteenth century engineering. Constructed for defense and transportation purposes amid a virtual wilderness, the canal was built under extremely difficult physical and health conditions. Today the Waterway is designated as a National Historic Site and is preserved, as far as possible, in its original condition. It is now used almost wholly for recreational purposes but also serves a flood control function.
