This canal is known for connecting the city to water bodies that includes the lake Ontario and Ottawa River.<\/p><p>In 1832, this canal was used as a military defense system and now it is known as a recreational attraction. During warmer months, tourists as well as locals walk, ride on the walkways, or bike through the line of the canal. Few even take help of boat and paddle through the water to enjoy and have fun.
