Hartwells Locks, located along the historic Rideau Canal in Ottawa, Ontario, showcases a rich tapestry of Canadian heritage dating back to 1832. The locks, which were originally constructed for military purposes, continue to operate much like they did over 190 years ago, offering visitors a living glimpse into the ingenious engineering of the past.

Alongside the locks, the surrounding area boasts beautiful parks, conservation areas, and various outdoor activities, including boating, hiking, and wildlife observation. With picturesque picnic spots and accessible facilities, Hartwells Locks serves as an excellent destination for both tourists and novice boaters looking to explore this national treasure.
