Parked on the other side of Vimy bridge and walked over. I wasn't sure what to expect but it was a beautiful sunny Good Friday and a wonderful setting for a walk! The pup enjoyed it too, I think!

I would definitely recommend a stroll. Parking on the other side of Vimy bridge was empty. I noticed the Chapman Mills parking was smaller and full.

One downside was the cyclists. It's a fairly narrow path and boardwalk in parts. Cyclists take up quite a bit of space.

Such a beautiful path for nature watching. We took our dog (leashed path) and had a lovely time looking at all the birds. A few of the wooden boards were loose so make sure to watch your step!

Great place for a walk with family. Free parking! Feasible with a stroller but a bit rocky here and there. Outhouse for bathrooms near parking. Picnic tables for lunch too. Beautiful during the fall!

This was an excellent place to visit. Tucked away from bustling traffic. Only drawback to me, its very loud which spoils natural quiteness.

An excellent trail that’s located right within the city. With a combination of paved and wooden pathways, and small bridges and waterways, it never gets boring. And the trail goes right under the Vimy Memorial Bridge, and that is a sight to see.
Highly recommended.

Gorgeous hiking trail along the Rideau river which loops under the Vimy Memorial Bridge. The trail is super easy and accessible with well marked signs. There are lovely wooden footpaths and park benches with beautiful vistas of the waterway. Well maintained and easily doable in every season. Highly recommended.

This is my go-to spot in the summer when I want to get out of the house, have a sunny walk, and maybe try to find some snakes in the tall plants. Very well maintained, quaint, relaxing.

The best time to visit is during the week as it can get busy on a beautiful summer weekend. Keep an eye out for the little fairy houses along the path!

Great place to take out your kayak or paddle board. Lots of parking available and just a short walk to the dock. There is even a pavilion with lots of picnic tables. We saw lots of walkers, kayakers and people just there to relax by the water. There is a pathway but we did not go for a walk. Next time! Highly recommend if you are looking for somewhere to take your kayak out.

Nice area for a walk. Board walk is really nice. There are water facing benches along the way. Great view of the Rideau river and Barrhaven Vimy memorial bridge. You will see mostly walkers but once in a while you will bump into bikers which can be bit challenging. There is public washroom near parking area.

Finding parking can be bit challenging but if you are willing to walk a bit you can park at Riverside park and go to this trail via bridge.

Cute board walk- a lot of people fishing. Can be crowded fast. Good for pictures and watching people boating on the river. Beautiful walk with your friends or dogs (on leash). The boardwalk is Right next to the main busy road which takes away from the beauty a bit so only giving it 3 stars.
Free Parking available.
