While Confederation Park is the most well-known spot for cherry blossom viewing along the Rideau Canal, the scenic waterway offers opportunities to discover additional cherry trees as you venture further afield. Take a leisurely walk or a refreshing bike ride along the canal towpath, and keep an eye out for the delicate pink and white blooms that may appear beyond Confederation Park. The peak bloom typically occurs in late April to early May, adding a touch of springtime beauty to the historic canal. Combine a visit to Confederation Park with a more extensive exploration of the Rideau Canal for a more comprehensive cherry blossom experience.
