8. Rideau Canal and Locks

rideau canal
The canal as a whole is one of Canada's most underrated sights. Most locks are beautifully maintained with old buildings and very helpful and friendly staff. If you take the time to look at them and think about how they work, and the fact that this 200km canal was built so long ago without current technology it really is amazing. Nowadays something like this would never be built because it would cost too much but most of it was done manually. Each lock is a lovely park in and of itself.
