This trip will take place at the peak of autumn colors, which at this time form the unique landscape of the park and attract many visitors who want to see this beauty. We have booked a place for 6 people in the Pog Lake and Kearney Lake Campground from Friday (it's September 30th) until Sunday (it's October 2nd).
We invite you to explore nature in early fall at the Dumoine River, the last wild river in Ottawa Valley. September is the time when it is still warm and sunny during the day; however, it is already cold at night, and in the morning a milky impenetrable fog covers all the surroundings.
This is a trip to the famous Wolf Trail of Gatineau Park that starts beside Blanchet Beach. This trail is interesting in any season of the year, but especially in fall. We'll explore the environment along the trail, stopping in the lookout places that to admire the view of the Ottawa River and late-fall forests. We also will observe the park's flora and fauna, and identify late fall mushrooms.
This is the last fall trip to see the scenic landscape in the area of Eagle's Nest and identify late fall mushrooms, sustaining in the cold weather with frosty nights in Calabogie area (to the west of Ottawa).
This is a free guided hike for those who are interested to know more about birds and mammals that are well adapted to urban conditions or stay at the lake during migration. We'll meet at 9:00 am on October 22 at the parking along Cassels Street near Mud Lake. We'll explore the area near Ottawa River and around Mud Lake to see mammals and birds inhabiting this area in October. Families with kids are invited.
Would you like to learn about the life of this swamp and walk along the paths with us to see how local plant and animal species prepare for winter? Join our hike on Sunday, October 23 at 9 am. We meet at Parking 22 of Ottawa Greenbelt, in the proximity of a boardwalk around the Mer Bleue Bog to see the rich fall colors.
