Today, Rideau Canal is used for pleasure boating and registered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The site has been featured several times on postage stamps issued by Canada Post. Rideau Canal Pathways are also popular for cycling, running, and walking especially during summer. The gardens, parks, and neighborhood lining the way add more attraction to the area.
