Voyageur Provincial Park

Voyageur Provincial Park

Resting on the banks of the Ottawa River alongside the Trans-Canada Highway, Voyageur Provincial Park is Ontario’s most eastern provincial park.

Situated halfway between Montreal and Ottawa, its proximity to the highway, RV/camping facilities and comfort stations make it the perfect spot for a pit stop or an overnight stay.
