Trajet

We'll meet at the east end of the Adàwe Crossing footbridge, across from the Rideau Sports Centre (1 Donald St.). From there, we will head south through Riverain Park, meandering through the park and stopping often throughout. We will do a loop, heading back north towards Adàwe Crossing, where the walk will finish.

The route is flat, but we will be walking across the grass. If conditions are wet, it may be muddy, which could make it difficult for some. Please dress for the weather and wear sturdy shoes or hiking boots!
