We did a few day trips from Rideau River Provincial Park, one being Rideau Canal. The Rideau Canal is quite something, it’s about 202 kms and connects our Nation’s Capital, Ottawa, with other communities right down to Lake Ontario, in Kingston, Ontario.
We also drove into Eganville one day and they had a terrific outdoor market going on. We purchased a few things, I do love a good outdoor market. And they had a Guitar store with a unique sign beside their building. We went by a few times and I tried to get a photo with no cars in front of it but that was not possible.

If you haven’t been to Merrickville, it’s a really wonderful little town, set right on the Canal and so picturesque.

We had our lunch at the Goose and Gridiron Restaurant

This old phone booth was on the main street 
Cute restaurant and good food

So all in all, I liked the area but the park, not so much. I would camp there again though to be able to tour around the area a little more.
That’s it for our summer adventures, we are now heading home to get ready for our month long Fall trip to Algonquin, which I already blogged about lol. I love going through my Algonquin photos, they are always a priority.
See you again soon…
