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.

serenity

Feel the cool, crisp air surround you as you

snowshoe your way through the backwoods of

the Ottawa Valley. Build your fi re; pitch your tent;

unpack your pack. Notice the stillness. Everything

is covered with a blanket of white. Spend your

day snowshoeing our many winter trails or keep

warm around your campfi re. As night approaches

watch the moon’s gentle light highlight the clean,

white snow.

Throw another log on the fi re – it’s going

to be a cold winter’s night in the Valley.
