“I was there today, not beginner-friendly 🤣,” one of my followers told me in a DM after skating on the Rideau Canal. And honestly, that’s true. The canal can be tough for beginners. Since it’s a naturally frozen skating rink, it’s not as smooth as a refrigerated rink like the Rink of Dreams. The canal can have bumps and cracks, and if you’re a beginner, it’s easy to fall and potentially hurt yourself. 🙄 If you still want to try skating on the canal, I’d recommend wearing a helmet and protective gear for your knees, wrists, or elbows. I’m not trying to discourage you, just to make sure you’re aware. 🙂 Have you fallen skating on the canal yet? How many times? How has your experience been so far? 😅 #rideaucanalskateway #skating #ottawa #winterfun #thingstodoinottawa
