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. 

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!

TASTE OF THE VALLEY 


Discover nature’s lush artistry as fall paints its 

striking reds, oranges and yellows across the 

land. Corn as sweet as candy and pumpkins 

the size of giants are harvested for a feast of 

fun. Indulge with a smorgasbord of seasonal
