Local Pathways: City Panorama
Distance: approximately 5 kilometres
This scenic course uses three distinct recreational pathways: the Voyageurs Pathway (on the Quebec side); the Ottawa River Pathway; and the Trans Canada Trail. Each pathway is certainly worth an exploratory jog, beyond the boundaries of the course identified above. A brief description of each follows.
- The Voyageurs Pathway
- This pathway, 30 km long and fully paved, provides a panoramic view of the Ottawa River in a natural environment. It links the Canadian Museum of Civilication, Jacques- Cartier Park, Leamy lake Park, Brebeuf Park, Moussette Park, Deschenes Rapids and Deschenes Lake Marina.
- Ottawa River Pathway
- This 31 km pathway has two segments: the 20 km paved western segment, and the 13 km stonedust eastern segment. The terrain is mostly flat with a few small hills. The pathway parallels the Ottawa River, rewarding its users with spectacular views.
