Map
Welcome to Outaouais Region!
Known as a land of clear blue lakes, rivers and immense forests, the Outaouais region offer endless recreational opportunities for the outdoor enthusiast. Located in the southwest of Quebec, these regions boast areas like Gatineau Park, with its network of hiking and skiing trails, as well as several ski resorts, outdoor wildlife reserves and golf courses. Recreational opportunities abound, ranging from snowmobiling in the winter, to whitewater rafting in the summer, to riding an authentic steam train in autumn to admire the fiery shades of foliage. There is even a lively community of balloonists who will float a visitor over the region's forests and rivers. In contrast to the isolated beauty of the wilderness, the region's cities have a rich culture. In the urban areas, visitors can explore open air markets, sample fine cuisine, observe the old churches and museums that depict the region's vast history, or take in one of the numerous summer festivals.Tourist Attractions
