Rideau Falls

Rideau Falls is one of the waterfalls in Canada. More precisely, there are two waterfalls, they are formed in the place where the Rideau River flows into the Ottawa River. Between these two waterfalls is the Green Island. The waterfall itself is not particularly beautiful, but in winter, when the water freezes, it looks very unusual.

This name was given to the waterfalls by Samuel de Champlain in 1613, to whom the sight of falling water resembled a curtain, in French it sounds "rido" - rideau. Later, the river was named after the river, and many other objects in Ottawa were named after it.
