Gatineau Park

Just a 15-minute journey from downtown, this 90,000-acre green space is Ottawa’s outdoor playground. Take part in adventurous activities such as wild swimming, biking, cross-country skiing and show-shoeing, or simply enjoy a gentle ramble around the park’s heritage sites. The best time to visit is in autumn, when you’ll be treated to a spectacular display of fall colours.
