The Gatineau River flows through the Gatineau Valley before joining the Ottawa River, and is a major waterway in western Quebec. For centuries, it has been an important transportation route for Indigenous peoples and later played a significant role in the area’s logging industry, helping to shape the development of communities along its banks. Today, its forested shoreline, clear waters, and abundant wildlife make it a popular destination for paddling, fishing, and other outdoor recreation.
