The Capital Pathway, also known informally as the Bike Path, is a 220-kilometre (140 mi) recreational pathway interlinking many parks, waterways and sites in Ottawa, Ontario and Gatineau, Quebec.^[1] Most of the pathway is paved, and allows an almost continuous route through the National Capital Region.

The pathway was mostly the work of the National Capital Commission (NCC), a crown corporation created in 1959. The trail, which includes the Rideau Canal Pathway, the Ottawa River Pathway, and the Rideau River Eastern Pathway extends in all directions and extends northward into Gatineau Park's lakes.
