Riverside park on the Gatineau with forested trails, rapids and scenic river bends — ideal for landscape and waterscape shots. Photograph long-exposure silky water, autumn foliage, and low-angle reflections at dawn or dusk. No entry fee; small parking lot off Rue Broad. Trails are mostly natural/gravel; expect mud after rain. Best light: golden hour and overcast for even forest light. Cultural note: named for historic portage routes used by Indigenous peoples and voyageurs.
