20 minutes from downtown Ottawa, this lake has two sandy beaches patrolled by lifeguards.

Beautiful and very peaceful place if you are lucky enough to get there early in the morning as it could get very crowded later in the day. The lake is so serene, the fall colors in full bloom are amazing. This is a must visit for hikers, nature lovers and photographers.

This vast and scenic Ottawa park is ideal for walking, biking or cross-country skiing and also houses the MacKenzie King Estate, once the home of Canada's former Prime Minister.

A must to visit! Gatineau park is just beautiful. Close to Ottawa, with so many lakes including Pink lake (green), trails, wildlife, breathtaking views especially from Belvèdere where you can see as far as the Outaouais River. Good variety of restaurants (Chelsea) it does not matter the season of the year, each one is unique in its own way. In Autunm enjoy the colors is just magic!!! My favorite place in the Outaouais.

Always something for the children, be it face painting, interesting displays with a learning message which is fun for kids, or in winter it may be slides and snow sculptures for the entire family... Always worth a visit when stuff is going on. If nothing is on, then it is a great place to have a pic nic with views of parliament, Nepean point, Embassies, the Ottawa river or the close by Museum.

Hubby and I try to get to Montebello once a year. It's a charming little town. We stay at Chateau Montebello but pop in to the village numerous days during our stay for dinner at one of the local establishments or to visit the Fromagerie Montebello. In the summer time Fromagerie Montebello offers a take out cheese plate that includes at least three types of their cheese, a mini baguette, some chutney,etc. It's a fantastic price and a great way to get to sample their wares. The staff have always been top notch and extremely friendly and helpful. Aside from their wonderful cheese that is made on the premises they also have a great selection of foodie items for sale hot pepper jellies, balsamic vinegars, pates, sausage, etc. You really have to check it out! We always make one last trip to the Fromagerie as we are leaving town and we stock up with their cheese to bring home for friends. Our hands down favourite is the "Adoray", a soft cow's milk cheese that has been wrapped inside a ring of spruce bark!!!! Flavours of wood shavings, spices and damp hay. It's truly wonderful and very unique. GO HERE! YOU WON'T REGRET IT!!!!

Beautiful hike and a great workout for an average fitness level person. A nice view at the top. Pretty much straight up hill the entire way with few flat areas and then downhill the entire way back. Some areas are a bit rocky/dusty so wear good quality shoes. Took about 3 hours with some small rest stops to complete it. You will feel it in your legs the next day!

I visit this area frequently, during all seasons actually. Beautiful walking path all around the lake, cycling is also a fun activity with many trails to different areas. There is a beach in the summer, very convenient spot.

What a place. Walked in and the smell, heavenly . Bought a couple of things then went back to the hotel. Of course the following morning went back and bought assorted chocolates and gifts for neighbours. We would definitely go back.

We loved walking through the bridge and reading about the history. The Wakefield Covered Bridge is a testiment to this community coming together and rebuilding a piece of their past.
