A large park and so close to Ottawa. One of the entrances to the park is just across the river from Ottawa. This makes it a splendid excursion if you don't have a lot of time. The park is very large tho, so if you do have a lot of time, there is plenty to do. The first thing you... More

Lots of trails and places to visit. I love the McKenzie King estates. Pinks Lake is really pretty too. Champlain Outlook is breathtaking. Visit in the fall when all the leaves are changing!

Beautiful hike,about 30 minutes climb if you're in shape.It is not difficult but you're climbing almost non stop.Do wear good hiking shoes or boots.Fall is at its best in spring time.If the weather is clear,you can see quite far along your ascent.

This place is a great place to spend a Sunday afternoon. There's bicycle paths, hiking and canoeing areas, or just sightseeing. Even just driving through the park is a great drive and in Old Chelsea there are fine restaurants and restaurants with a terrace to stop at as well and some boutiques to visit. Not far from there you can... More

So many walking paths, hiking trails and beautiful scenery. Biking, hiking, swimming, roller blading, cycling and so much more to do while visiting Gatineau Park. I highly recommend Mont King and Pink Lake!
