Nice stop 🛑 for a break when biking on the adjacent trail or when driving along Rockcliff Parkway. Be aware, sometimes this place is busy for car parking 🅿️ so you may have to park on the adjacent street and walk over sometimes at peak timings.

If this was helpful, please like my review! 🙏🫶🙌
Nice place for walk or picnic (if good weather of course).
especially at sunset

Lovely views of Gatineau from the lookout point. Summer is a great time to look for jetskis and boats cruising on Ottawa river. The parking is enough for 3 cars only.

A family member showed us around this beautiful city and stopped here. What a great look out!

The park is not too big but it’s quite clean and you can see the Rockciffe Boating House from there and it has such a nice view to see😍
While visiting the Prime Minister's and Governor General's residences it is nice to go a bit farther along Sir George Etienne Cartier parkway to see the Aviation and Space museum and the RCMP horse stables. I recommend that on your journey to stop and take a look from the scenic view from the lookout point. There you can have a great view of the Ottawa River, Ottawa's Marina and on the other side of the water, Gatineau Quebec.

There are also some nice bike trails in the area that you can take advantage of on this adventure. The trail is in good shape and there are some small hills, but not too difficult of a ride.

If you like my reviews, videos, or photos Lookout and find the thumbs up button

There is an observation deck, a pier below, and a boat restaurant, but the restaurant is closed during the epidemic. There are a lot of yachts parked at the pier, and there is a large parking lot, but only yacht clubs are allowed to park here. You can see the confluence of the Ottawa River and the Gatineau River, the scenery is beautiful.
Very beautiful place to see nature and walk. Lots of space for picnics and bike. There are trails to down the Ottawa river. Beautiful views of Gatineau across the river.
