Adjacent Wilderness Tours Outdoor Centre is a large piece of the Ottawa River Provincial Park. A loop trail takes you and your students on a 2-3 hour moderate hike along the rim of an ancient gorge from the last ice age.


Water Park Free Swim

Inflatable slides, teeter-totter and climbing walls are positioned in the bay near the main beach. Life jackets are required as there is no life guard on duty.
