The quest

Britannia Watersport Beach is Ottawa's public water south-west of centre, Ottawa. One hour. Five things on the waterline. No private docks.

Steps

  1. Stay on the public beach at Britannia Watersport Beach. No private docks.
  2. Walk Britannia Watersport Beach's waterline until you have a list of five shoreline things.
  3. Turn around. Lifeguard flags, if any, are the boss.

Why this is on the board

Ottawa was built on water whether the skyline admits it or not. Britannia Watersport Beach (south-west of centre, Ottawa) is a named public edge: five things on the waterline, then you turn around.

Safety. Public ground only. Map data goes stale — if a rail, hour, or closure disagrees, leave. Not a guided tour.
