Vignoble Clos Du Vully
Winery
👍👍 We went for a wine and cheese pairing. Excellent wine and the owner is incredibly friendly. He shared a lot of information about the area, the farm(s) and the process involved. We will certainly be back. I only got a photo of the cheese platter. Next time I'll get more of the winery.

Mud Lake Trail

👍👍 One of the best place to see wildlife and especially birds. There are painter turtles, snapping turtles, heron, egrets, ducks, geese, and all kinds of song birds. Go early before the crowds to enjoy it the most. There is a lake as well for winter skating, snowshoeing and cross country skiing. One of...

👍👍 The best day of our lives! From the very start Isabel and the rest of the Domaine Perrault team have been extremely and genuinely helpful in every part of wedding planning.

👍👍 Lovely farm! We visited in the spring and got to pick from a wonderful selection of beautiful tulips. The farm has lots of parking (free) and the people working there were very friendly. We really enjoyed our time and look forward to visiting again in 2024.

NCC Trail 51
Hiking area
👍👍 This is a beautiful trail, well maintained. Easy. I went thanksgiving weekend and saw a lot of young families. It's a nice easy trail with no major challenges but a beautiful walk all the same. The parking lot isnt very large and fills up quickly when busy, but again that may have been because it...

Mud Lake
Lake
👍👍 Tip: Park near the Britannia Water Purification Plant at 2731 Cassels st. And make sure to bring some seeds to feed the geese. A nice trail with great view and lots of animals. The kids enjoyed feeding the baby geese which came un-scared and ate from their hands. We couldn’t walk the full trail beca...

Ottawa River Pathway
Hiking area
👍👍 Walked from Andrew Hayden Park to the Belltown dome and back, 45 minutes each way, very pleasant afternoon walk. The trees along the shore provide some shelter from the offshore breeze, without blocking the wide view of the river. The pathway and landscaping have clearly been recently rebuilt, so...

👍👍 Best off-leash dog park in the area. Massive open space with some seating plus a huge amount of trails to explore. There is even a rainbow bridge to post your lost pup's tag which always brings tears to our eyes.

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...

👍👍 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.

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...

Beaver Trail
Hiking area
👍👍 Perfect little trail for a quiet hike. Squirrels, chipmunks, wild turkeys, birds, snakes, and more make this their home. Ground is uneven at some spots but over all an easy trail to walk or ride a bike (watch for animals on the trail!)
