Beautiful park with so much to do and see. You could easily spend several days here and probably not see everything. But definitely worth the trip for any nature lover.

The parc is beautiful. However I need to point out that a car was tailgating me, I felt unsecure. I pulled over and the car pulled over as we pulled over as well. The guy started yelling at me saying he was a parc officer that I couldn't park there regardless no signal was there.

Living in Ottawa we are absolutely spoiled rotten having a gorgeous National Park that is a 55 minute 🚲 ride from Downtown Ottawa. I personally don’t need a cottage because I can bike to Meech lake and hang out in one of the most beautiful lakes in Canada IMO. The amenities are excellent, staff are always really helpful, shuttles and e bikes have really upped accessibility of the Park to all users. They also close down the parkways throughout the summer for Active Transportation uses (which many love…esp 🚲 and 🏃s). Don’t forget that both Chelsea and Wakefield are two amazing destinations immediately adjacent to both ends of the Park.

Very good experience as a trekking spot. It's within the vicinity of the small water fall . Parking is available but not so much but just enough for around 30 cars total give or take.
