Where We Are
Although this is sometimes debated, Renfrew County and The Ottawa Valley are one and the same, with the exception of a few outlying areas. When you pass the Renfrew County signs on our major roads, you are in the Ottawa Valley.
The Ottawa Valley stretches from Ottawa, Canada’s capital city, westward to the wilderness of Ontario’s world-renowned Algonquin Park in the west. More than half the Valley is wilderness: 2.4 million hectares (6 million acres) of pristine waterways, rolling woodlands and dramatic landforms.
This landscape stimulates an out-of-doors lifestyle with recreation opportunities that are varied and adaptable to season, scenery and technical challenge.
