The Long Reach is the longest lock-free stretch of the entire historic Rideau Canal Waterway. It extends from the lock at Burritt's Rapids, to the locks at Long Island, just north of Manotick. The tranquil beauty of this stretch of waterway belies its close proximity to Ottawa. Hydrographic Chart 1512, Sheets 2 and 3, covers the Long Reach.
