Brown's Inlet

The southern pond of Brown's Inlet

Brown's Inlet is a body of water in central Ottawa. A former creek, it grew considerably in size with the creation of the Rideau Canal. Originally larger, the inlet was divided by Ralph Street; today it is split into 2 ponds connected by culverts. The inlet is in the southern part of the Glebe neighbourhood,[1] emptying into the canal near the Bank Street Bridge. The two ponds of the inlet are surrounded by parks and homes. The ponds are home to a wide array of wild life including frogs, turtles, fish, and birds.

A sewer crosses through the pond, connecting Wilton Crescent to Broadway Avenue. Originally installed in the late 19th century, the sewer was renewed in 2025.
