Rideau Falls - Waterfalls on Waymarking.com

The falls mark the point where the Rideau River empties into the Ottawa River. There are actually 2 sets of falls on either side of Green Island where Ottawa City Hall was once located. The easterly set of falls is wider than the westerly set. The flow is controlled by a weir located at the top of both sets. In the early spring ice south of the falls is blasted with explosives to avoid ice jams around some low lying bridges in the city.
