Are you boating up or looking for a place to launch as well? There is a marina with a launch on the Gatineau/Hull side (not sure where it is, you can probably google it). I think you can dock at the locks (don't quote me on that) at the base of the Chateau Laurier/Parliament Hill. You can't go much further upstream then Parliament Hill, just past Victoria Island is the dam at the Chaudiere Falls. If you are on the Rideau, you can come up through the locks and dock around the Arts Centre.
Since I'm not a boater, thats the best info I can give you. Hopefully, someone else can pipe in and give you some definite info.
Hope you have a great day.
