Rideau River Provincial Park
Park
👍👍 Made some amazing memories here with a group of 15 people in their 20's, and we didn't even get so much as a ticket. Given the size of our group, and the amount of alcohol we brought, we were sure to at least get a fine for excessive noise, but the wardens were very reasonable and respectful. Shawn,...

Chapman Mills Conservation Area
Nature preserve
👍👍 This is my go-to spot in the summer when I want to get out of the house, have a sunny walk, and maybe try to find some snakes in the tall plants. Very well maintained, quaint, relaxing.
The best time to visit is during the week as it can get busy on a beautiful summer weekend. Keep an eye out for t...

Jack Pine Trail
Hiking area
👍👍 Parked at P9 off Moodie, lots of space. Some picnic tables on edge of P9. Washrooms at P9. I walked every trail except one where the boardwalk is damaged they closed it. Varied ecosystems provide for huge variety. Very picturesque.

Princess Louise Falls
Scenic spot
👍👍 One will easily miss this falls from the road... There isn't available parking, no bathroom nor garbage can, the terrain is slippery and certainly not recommended for bathing or drinking water here, be prepared to park up the road and walk, wear good hiking shoes, enjoy the views of the Falls and do...

There are well maintained pathways to walk or bike on. Lots of people walk their dogs here. There is a...

David Bartlett Park
Park
👍 Great dog park to use while visiting family. Not fully fenced so beware! Went in “winter” so it was quite muddy near the entrance but overall good space to roam. If your dog likes water ensure they have good recall when the ice is there, can be dangerous. Many friendly people and dogs but enough spa...

Pinhey's Point Historic Site
Museum
😐 This place is probably better to visit once pandemic restrictions have been lifted, as the museum is currently closed.
Access to the water is fairly limited and it's mostly a spot to have picnics it would appear.
However the remaining buildings are well-preserved and the interpretive panels offer...

Lockdown Ottawa Escape Room
Escape room center
😐 I'd like to start this off by saying that all of the rooms are very well decorated.
The Time Team Trilogy, had a lackluster ending and didn't have you leaving the room feeling accomplished. It just kind of ended with no well defined end. It felt like you where just starting to get somewhere in the...

Beaver Pond Kanata
Wildlife park
👍👍 One of the most photogenic places in Kanata North
A locals favourite walk. The beaver pond is located in Kanata North, in the heart of so called Kanata Lakes area. It forms part of the wetland, hence there are many species of birds, insects and small mammals who live there. It’s also home to some m...

NCC Trail 26
Hiking area
👍👍 One of my regular haunts. Beautiful trail. Lots of chickadees to hand feed, squirrels and chipmunks too - but require more patience. A pilleated woodpecker makes an occasional appearance, but you don't want to hand feed this terrifying beast.

Lime Kiln Ruins
Historical landmark
👍👍 You will find the Lime Kiln Ruins on a nice Greenbelt Trail off of Moodie Road, beside the Moodie (Tomlinson) Quarry, Kanata. This kiln was built by Francis Flood in the late 1800's to support the construction of Bytown, (Ottawa) and neighborhood buildings by processing limestone into lime. Lime i...

NCC Trail 24
Hiking area
👍 A quiet gem. Sadly it was hit by the May 2021 storm and a number of trees have been uprooted and damaged. Bring insect repellent. It's worth it though.
