Parc National de Plaisance

Olaf de Winter

This is a lovely little park with beautiful walkways over a marsh and a decent campground. It’s not a large park, so if you’re hoping to hike all day you’d better choose somewhere else. If you like canoeing and birdwatching, then this is the park for you. There are two bays as well as the Ottawa river to explore. A gem of a park in a beautiful part of the country.

Good provincial park for camping. However, I felt they don’t have great hiking trails. Overall was fun.

Nice place with lakes and equipment to rent. No plays for children however

Parc National Plaisance which is 1.5 hrs away from Montreal is an hidden gem. Its one of the best parks managed by SEPAQ with multiple activities (Kayaking, Hiking, Canoeing) rented in the visitors centre of park and pickup kayaks immediately next to visitor centre and car parking. Toilets in the visitor centre (clean). Hire a kayak or canoe for four hours and paddle to the falls (1.5 hrs to 2 hrs upstream through some scenic waterways and make sure to pack a sandwich for all) and park kayak nearby when you reach the heavy currents of the waterfall and walk up to the picnic tables overlooking the falls. Paddle downstream for another 1.5 hrs to return. A great day trip idea for folks nearby it or you camp there and explore nearby touristic region or go to Ottawa.
