Ottawa River Waterway

Formerly known as the Temiskawa Waterway, the Ottawa River Waterway has something for everyone. Whatever your travel plans - perhaps just a day of boating, or cruising for a week or two - the Ottawa's scenic waters are exactly what you've been looking for in a uniquely different boating adventure. Anywhere along the way you can nose into shore, pitch a tent and build a fire on shore or dock at a marina and head to a hotel or even spend your nights at anchor.

Join us for a tour of the waterway as it winds its way from Notre-Dame-Du-Nord, at the head of Lake Temiskaming and then down the Ottawa River for almost 500 kilometres, to Arnprior, just outside of Ottawa.
