The Rideau Falls (French: Chutes de la rivière Rideau) are two 11-metre waterfalls located in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, where the Rideau River empties into the Ottawa River. The falls are divided by Green Island, with Ottawa's Old City Hall just to the south. To the west of the falls is the headquarters of the National Research Council while to the east are the Canada and the World Pavilion and the French Embassy. Samuel de Champlain described the falls as "...a marvelous fall...it descends a height of twenty or twenty-five fathoms with such impetuosity that it makes an arch nearly four hundred paces broad." The falls were named by the early French for their resemblance to a curtain, or rideau in French. The Rideau River was later named after the falls. The Rideau Canal was constructed to b

- Водопады Ридо, англ. Rideau Falls — два водопада в г. Оттава, Канада. Расположены в месте впадения реки Ридо в реку Оттава. Между двумя водопадами находится Зелёный остров (Green Island), к югу от которого расположена . К западу от водопадов расположена штаб-квартира Национального исследовательского совета, а к востоку — здание бывшего музея «Павильон Канады и мира» и Посольство Франции. Название водопадам дал Самуэль де Шамплен в 1613 году, для которого вид падающей воды напоминал занавес, фр. rideau. Позднее в честь водопадов получили название река Ридо, а в честь неё — многие другие объекты в Оттаве. Одной из целью сооружения канала Ридо было создание обходной дороги для лодок, так как проход через водопады Ридо и водопады Хогс-Бэк был невозможен. (ru)
