A part of the Hog's Back Falls

The Hog's Back Falls are a series of waterfalls in the Rideau River in Ottawa, Canada. The falls are located just north of Mooney's Bay and the point where the Rideau Canal, built partially to avoid these falls, splits from the river. A series of locks on the canal raise boats over the height of the falls. The construction of the canal greatly altered the falls. They were named by the early loggers in the Ottawa area who named them for a large rock in the middle that looked like the back of a hog. This rock is no longer visible.
