Cradled between the Ottawa River and Algonquin Park in Ontario’s Highlands, the Ottawa Valley is a place steeped in culture where you can immerse yourself in our unique blend of heritage and four season outdoor recreation. Escape the everyday hustle and bustle as you encounter our rural small town charm and authentic Valley hospitality.

Experience world-class whitewater rafting and paddling in the Whitewater Capital of Canada. Learn about the region’s unique geological landscape through recreational geology opportunities. Catch artists at work during a studio tour and take in the splendor of the fall colours along the way. Embrace winter in true Canadian-style by hitting the slopes at Ontario’s highest vertical (Calabogie Peaks Resort) or traversing over classic Canadian shield by dog sled. 

Celebrate our proud culture at festivals such as Kashub Day, Paddle & Fiddle the Bonnechere, Pembroke’s Old Time Step-Dancing and Fiddling Competitions, Algonquins of Pikwékanagén Pow Wow, and more.
