Скачать или смотреть Hog's Back Falls Park, Ottawa

The name Hogs Back comes for a ridge of limestone cresting in the channel, looking like the backbone of a hog. Upstream from Hogs Back was another extensive set of rapids known as Three Island Rapids (now under the waters of the head of Mooneys Bay).

Of all the parks we visited in Ottawa, this was our favorite. The history in this spot is fascinating, and there is a nice walking path with explanatory plaques along the way. There are public washrooms (a rarity in Ottawa) and benches and tables in the shade. Lots of free parking. A great place to spend some time. The falls are loud enough to cover the traffic noise, so it's easy to forget you're in the heart of the city.

Beautiful to see the falls in the winter. Very icy due to the spring melt but worth the walk. Very little parking in the winter months.
