Small riverside park on Île du Chenail with sweeping views of the Ottawa River, tree-lined paths, shoreline rocks and seasonal foliage — excellent for waterscape and landscape photos. Visit at sunrise or golden hour for warm light on the river; autumn offers vivid colours and winter gives stark ice patterns. Easy access from Hawkesbury with nearby parking, flat paths and no entry fee; expect locals on weekends. Check local drone rules before flying.
