The Ottawa River has some of the "wildest" boating around!
With nearly 500 km of water to explore, you can customize your power boating adventure as a day trip or a week long holiday. The Ottawa River follows routes used as water highways by Native people and later on, by Canada's earliest explorers.
Formerly known as the Temiskawa Waterway, the Ottawa River Waterway has something for everyone. Whatever your travel plans, a day of boating, or cruising for a week or two, the Ottawa River's scenic waters are exactly what you've been looking for in a uniquely different boating adventure.
One mile wide, it is the interprovincial boundary between Ontario and Quebec. Samuel de Champlain traveled this river in the 1600s. Log booms were a common site from the mid 1850s to the early 1980s. Today, the Ottawa River is used by pleasure crafts and fishermen. Allumette Island, Quebec is across from Pembroke. It is about 25 miles long and 7 miles wide with the Laurentian Mountains beyond. Three bridges over Cotnam's Island, Morrison Island and Allumette Island built in 1958, connect Pontiac County, Que. and Renfrew County at Pembroke.
