Gatineau Park Parc de Gatineau

Gatineau Park, administered by the federal government, is a woodland and lakeland district in the hills of this part of the Canadian Shield alongside the River Gatineau, large areas of which are still primeval forest. Some places are set aside for outdoor activities such as camping, jogging, walking, riding, swimming, fishing, cycling and downhill and cross-country skiing.

The footpaths through the southern part of the park are an especially beautiful walk in the autumn, as the leaves change colors.
