Québec’s Outaouais
“If the state of Minnesota has 10,000 lakes, Outaouais must have a million”-Anonymous
Pristine lakes and rivers sparkle in Outaouais. Located in southwestern Québec, the landscape has been compared to Alberta’s Canadian Rockies. Yes, Outaouais (pronounced ootaway) is undiscovered, undisturbed, and unfamiliar to most travelers.
The Ottawa River divides Canada’s capitol city of Ottawa and Gatineau, the gateway city to Outaouais. After landing in Ottawa and before leaving Gatineau, we took time to enjoy a fine meal at Hilton Lac-Lemy’s Arôme and catch up on our sleep.
