Wander lightly, travel kindly.

Welcome to the Ottawa Valley

The Ottawa Valley is more than a rural community. It’s a “sense” of place with a warm, creative and proud vibe that invites everyone who visits to stay awhile, play awhile and let us show you around. The Ottawa Valley spans Renfrew County, the largest county in the province of Ontario, parts of Western Quebec (the Pontiac Region) and the outskirts of the City of Ottawa.

When you plan to visit the Ottawa Valley for outdoor adventure or a chance to disconnect from the busyness of your life, be warned that it may quickly begin to feel like home. You know you will be welcomed with open arms the next time you come back!

The Ottawa Valley will nurture your venturesome self, perhaps guiding you to wild whitewater adventures one season, to a calm, quiet nighttime snowshoe hike by headlamp the next. Whatever your pace, we will match it.

G’Day and welcome to the Valley!
