Gatineau Park

A large park with lots of trails for various activities. Remarkable scenery. A must see in the fall.

We did a guided snowshoeing excursion with a naturalist. She was very knowledgeable. We learned about trees, animals and their tracks. The trail was just long enough. It was very enjoyable and it was free! I highly recommend.

The Gatineau park is phenomenal year round. Over 200 km of mixed use beautifully groomed trails.

The visitor centre and Lac Philippe, La Peche and Meech are definitely worth a visit in any season. However, nothing beats the sunset views at any of west facing lookouts.

Gatineau Park is huge - I want to share one aspect of it I think they have killed. Near the Parkway there is a great tube slide for the family that should be checked out. They have tubes to slide and a tow rope to get you back to the top of the hill. The kids just loved it and we think anybody with kids will love this too.

Superb place whether you're hiking, cross country skiing or snow shoeing. Beautiful well maintained trails with amazing views of nature. The staff is friendly, offering tips for different routes based on skill level. Plus the amazing location, just 15 minutes from Ottawa and the Quebec-Ontario border.
