The Great Outdoors

You can't visit such a green city without at least strolling around the extensive grounds of Gatineau Park, just across the river from Ottawa. Run, walk or rent a bike in summer and take to over 170km of public paved trails that lead through the city past the most famous landmarks across the river to the park. In winter, head to the Rideau Canal for the largest outdoor skating rink in the world. Vendors sell "beaver tail", a Canadian donut cake, right on the ice!
