Mooney's Bay

The bridge and dam at Hog's Back.

Mooney's Bay is an artificial bay on the Rideau River. The Bay was created during the construction of the Rideau Canal when a dam was built, creating Hog's Back Falls, with canal locks for boats to bypass the falls. This created a widened area of the River, suitable for boating.
