The route includes a gradual climb as you leave Ottawa and approach the hills of the park. Upon reaching the entrance, you’ll be welcomed by beautiful wooded landscapes and winding roads. Along the way, you’ll have the chance to enjoy stunning viewpoints overlooking the hills, lakes, and surrounding scenery. Lookouts and rest areas make perfect spots to take a break. After exploring the park and soaking in its breathtaking views, you can return to Ottawa by retracing the same route. The descent offers a delightful sense of speed as you glide back toward the ByWard Market—where the temptation for a quick bite will surely be hard to resist.
Since it's a loop, the starting and ending point will be the same. We particularly like the little café Little Victories Coffee Roasters - Elgin.
On this ride, you are heading for a sneaky climb up Sa Creu, via Establiments and Tords. Expect a steady start, scenic roads, and a little burn in the legs!
