  Rideau Ferry Yacht Club Conservation Area
   
 

Bask on the beach and listen as the water laps onto the shore at the Rideau Ferry Conservation Area. The former Rideau Ferry Yacht Club donated this 10 acre shoreline property located at Rideau Ferry to RVCA in 1976 for the purpose of providing a public day use recreation area with access to Lower Rideau lake. Rideau Valley Conservaiton Authority maintains a public beach, boat launch, and picnic area at this popular summer park.
