    A pleasant find in the Gatineau park. We ended up here on a long weekend (for most people) however due the pandemic a whole bunch of access roads were closed or bike/walk only. However somehow we ended up closer to a 10-15 min walk to the trek here. The lake is pristine and the local ecosystem seems intact. We even spotted a turtle popping its head out of water and wading around. The trail itself is short if you are not used to long duration ones. There are viewing areas and info plaques all over so one can take a break and read up on things or absorb the view. However there was no swimming allowed when we visited which is all right all things considered and cons of swimming in fresh water out weigh the risk IMO. I think this would be a good spot to visit in the off season.

    Wonderful short trail. We wanted a short outdoor hike, about an hour or 2 this was what we hoped for exactly. The trail was a bit crowded (I assume it is usually crowded on weekends) but still ok. Parking is hard since the small parking spot is getting full very fast, maybe next time we will park at the observation point since it is a loop trail. The views are great, the trail is well maintained and there are interesting and educational signs along the trail which add value to it. A great 2.5 Km trail, too bad it is not dog friendly.

    Stunning!

    I love nature, and Pink Lake does not disappoint! It can get packed on weekends, so try going on Sunday (vs. Saturday), or in the early morning (but sunset is beautiful)! The trail is wooden and very wide, and goes all around the lake. The water is absolutely stunning and makes for great photos! When the leaves have turned color, the entire area looks super vibrant and colorful. To make your experience better, pack yourself a picnic! There are lots of spots along the way to rest :)

    Ottawa River Pathway - Beautiful scenery along the Ottawa River Pathway (pedestrian and bicycle path).

    Ottawa River Pathway

    The Ottawa River Pathway is a pedestrian and bicycle path along the Ottawa River. The scenery is…read morevery beautiful year-round, but especially in the autumn. The pathway is about 30km, but you can get on and off at certain points, so you definitely don't have to do the entire length. It's fully paved and not particularly hilly. Just watch out for goose poop along certain parts of the path during certain times of the year, lol. Goose poop aside, the Ottawa River Pathway is beautiful. It's great for getting some exercise, be it cycling, rollerblading, jogging, Nordic walking, power walking, or even taking a leisurely stroll, while admiring nature. Sunsets along certain parts of the Pathway are especially breathtaking.

    This is a great little escape for the government workers in Tunney's pasture, to break away from…read moretheir computers for a few minutes of fresh air and R&R while they come outside for lunch or a walk or bike ride along the river. Be careful of the goose droppings on the grass, though. The cyclists using this path would rather the pedestrians walked on the grass, and the walkers would prefer if the cyclists used the grass! All of us are avoiding the droppings left by the Canada Geese that frequent this area. Also, look for the man who builds Inukshuk (if I've spelled that right?) For many years now, a man has been building amazing statues out of the rocks at the shoreline - they rocks balance on each other at seemingly impossible angles, threatening to drop at any moment, but seem to keep their balance! There was an article about him several years ago in the Canadian Geographic. It's been a pleasure to watch him work, and he's become something of a tourist attraction. It's May now, and I haven't seen him there yet this year, but maybe the water's too cold yet. Maybe he begins this work after the Victoria Day weekend.
