Photo: [Pexels](https://www.pexels.com) ## Parking at the Rideau Canal Near Dow’s Lake The nearest recommended parking information is tied to the Rideau Canal Skateway access points rather than a single car park at 1000 Colonel By Drive. The National Capital Commission says parking areas are located near Skateway entrances, alongside light rail transit stations (ncc-ccn.gc.ca). This makes the access-point car parks the practical choice for drivers heading to the canal near Dow’s Lake. The skateway is weather dependent, so the useful parking location can change with the operating access points (ncc-ccn.gc.ca). The National Capital Commission lists entrances, stairs, ramps, parking and transit as part of its Skateway information and services (ncc-ccn.gc.ca). The site is in Central Experimental Farm, near Glebe, with the listed address of 1000 Colonel By Drive. ## Busy Skateway Access Points and Canal-Side Street Parking Drivers heading for a popular entrance can therefore find demand spread across several access points rather than concentrated at one point. The Skateway is weather dependent, and its access arrangements include entrances, stairs, ramps and nearby parking (ncc-ccn.gc.ca). Parking on surrounding streets should be treated as controlled municipal parking rather than an automatic alternative to an access-point car park, with the posted restrictions governing each individual space. The access-point information specifically identifies parking areas near Skateway entrances (ncc-ccn.gc.ca). Show map of Glebe ## Named Parking Options Around Central Experimental Farm and Glebe Drivers looking beyond the canal-side access areas can use the Green Garage, Blue Garage or Red Garage at Rideau Centre. Impark lists these as three parking options for visitors, with a $33 daily rate for 24 hours and a regular rate of $6 an hour up to the listed daily charge (impark.com). These garages are a named alternative for a longer visit when a central facility suits the journey better than searching beside the water. The National Capital Commission also identifies parking areas near the Skateway entrances, so the access-point car parks remain the most directly relevant official option for the canal (ncc-ccn.gc.ca). The Rideau Centre garages provide a separate named choice, while street spaces around the canal remain subject to their individual posted controls. ## Parksy Parking Near 1000 Colonel by Drive For a lower-cost hourly option, Parksy lists a lot in Ottawa’s Lebreton, 610 m away, at $6.99 an hour. A driveway space at 117 Hopewell Avenue is 1.0 km away and costs $2.70 an hour, while a second Parksy listing at the same address is also 1.0 km away at $2.70 an hour. For longer stays, secure [monthly parking](https://www.parksy.com/blog/find-monthly-parking-near-me-practical-guide) at 117 Hopewell Avenue is 1.0 km away at $150 a month. A space at 405 Rochester Street is 1.5 km away at $8.49 an hour, and secure private parking in Ottawa is 1.6 km away at $10 a day. These Parksy spaces are all outside the attraction itself, so the walking portion of the journey begins after parking. ## Dow’s Lake Station and Walking Access to the Canal Dow’s Lake station is the nearest station to the site, at 1.1 km and a 14-minute walk. The station provides an alternative to driving directly into Central Experimental Farm, near Glebe, and is especially useful when canal-side parking is busy. The National Capital Commission identifies O-Train stations and parking areas near the Skateway entrances (ncc-ccn.gc.ca). From the station, allow 14 minutes on foot to reach the attraction at 1000 Colonel By Drive.
