Ottawa Valley Travel The Ottawa Valley
Cradled between the Ottawa River and
Algonquin Park, in Ontario’s Highlands,
the Ottawa Valley encompasses over 30
charming and quaint communities in
eastern Ontario and western Québec.
We have over 900 lakes, four major river
systems and countless trails that lead to
endless outdoor activities.
When fall turns to winter, our towns
become alive with festivity. Enjoy the
moon’s gentle light as it refl ects off large
snowfl akes dancing through the cool,
crisp air. Partake in one of many outdoor
activities: snowmobiling, snowshoeing,
skiing, tobogganing, skating, winter
camping, ice fi shing, ice climbing, and dog
sledding. Or take an enchanting ride on a
horse drawn sleigh.
Join us in the Ottawa Valley for seasons of
frolic and play!
THIS IS YOUR DESTINATION TO
ESCAPE THE EVERYDAY
Experience the crisp, cool peacefulness of
the Ottawa Valley in the fall and winter. As
daylight fades and the seasons change,
the wind’s gentle whisper can be heard
throughout our forests. This is a time to feel
alive! Let nature’s stunning palette inspire
you as you take the road less travelled.
