Discover the splendour of the Fall Foliage on Ottawa's most exciting and extensive tour of the world-famous Gatineau Park.
Gatineau Park is a woodland and lakeland district in the hills of the Canadian Shield, it runs alongside the River Gatineau and large areas are still primeval forest. The footpaths through the southern part of the park are an especially beautiful walk in the autumn, as the leaves change colours.
Tour the magnificent Gatineau Hills, renowned for its breathtaking landscapes and fall colours. Its spectacular landscape is a photographer’s paradise. Marvel at the Pink Lake, known for its rare beauty and unusual ecology, Champlain Lookout, renowned for its breathtaking view of the Ottawa River Valley and the Mackenzie King Estate, where one can explore the picturesque ruins and the romantic gardens of the grand old estate.
Also located on the estate is a museum on Canada’s tenth Prime Minister, William Lion Mackenzie King. In the mood for an afternoon ‘cuppa’? Visit Moorside Tea Room where one can enjoy an afternoon tea.
