This is Hogs Back. From here to the Ottawa River, the Rideau River is separate from the Rideau Canal, with the canal moving calmly toward Downtown Ottawa, and the Rideau River rushing over rocks and rapids to meet the Ottawa River at the Rideau Falls. You can read more about it here.
Here we can see wild rushing rapids, as they pass over rocks that were compared to giant hogs in the river. The rapids have been transformed, by a dam, into beautiful waterfalls.
We did watch the boats lock through, in the channel to the west of the dam, but that wasn't as exciting as the rocks and the falls.
Some knitting was done. My August socks have been finished.
Because this is Canada, and we know that summer will soon give way to cooler days, I started knitting mittens.
