The Itinerary

Wakefield is the Outaouais' favourite bohemian village. Just 35 km from Gatineau on Route 105, this English-speaking village in the Gatineau Valley is renowned for its craftspeople, musicians, music festivals and covered bridge.

The Gatineau River at Wakefield is ideal for kayaking and swimming. The village's craft microbrewery, poetry café and art galleries provide a striking contrast to the governmental atmosphere of Ottawa-Gatineau.
