Ottawa’s Secret Summer Swim Spot | Ottawa News
Description
Canada Day in Ottawa just got a splashy new vibe at the East Wharf dock near Major’s Hill Park — where swimmers took the plunge, even as foamy water from the Rideau Canal locks rolled through. A quick mess, then back to cannonballs and summer fun. The NCC dock’s chill, uncrowded vibe (if you time it right) and warm water make it a hit with locals, including students who swear by the view and the lack of crowds. Sure, a storm doused some festivities with rain and thunder, but folks kept on kayaking and hanging out. No lifeguards, no changing rooms — but nearby washrooms, fountains, and a refresh stand open until 9 p.m. daily. It’s the perfect spot to cool off, soak in the Parliament views, and just vibe — no handstands required.
