The Itinerary
The Gatineau Valley is a natural corridor heading north from Ottawa into the hunting and fishing territories of the deep Outaouais. Route 105 follows the Gatineau River for 130 km — a drive between lakes, mixed forests and Francophone-Anishinaabe villages.
Wakefield, 30 km from Gatineau, is the quintessential bohemian village: artisan markets, kayaking on the North River and a vibrant music scene. Maniwaki further north is the centre of the Algonquin (Anishinaabe) people and the starting point for Outaouais ZECs and wildlife reserves.
