        Site Description and Birding Information: This bicycle and walking path closely follows the Ottawa River through lovely deciduous woodland. The terrain is full of ups and downs as it winds its way around Squaw Bay, a small inlet opposite the islands. It continues through to the next site, Parc Brébeuf and beyond. Do as much or as little of it as pleases you. The entire length is worth birding during migration. Good views of the Ring-billed Gull colony on the islands in the river can be had.
