Maps!

Here is a general map of the Trail courtesy of the Rideau Trail Association.

 
The Rideau Trail Association http://www.rideautrail.org/ publishes awesome maps on fancy waterproof paper with the trail marked on one side and then a narrative about the trail on the back. There are 19 maps in total and they have waypoints marked on each map to use as reference (ie. 18C). I bought these maps in the spring and consult them regularly to plan the route and then refer to them frequently while out on the trail because there are lots of intersections and trail tends to jump from singletrack to the shoulder of a highway then to singletrack, then to double track, so the maps come in very handy.

Here is a map of the entire trail with the 19 maps overlaid. Here is the link to this map which is easier to see on the website http://www.rideautrail.org/maps/IndexMap.html

We're very indebted to Rideau Trail Association for making all the maps and ensuring that the RT is well-maintained and that the trail has access across private and public lands. Thank you!
