Petawawa Terrace Provincial Park — Attraction in Petawawa

Five stars, 100 per cent. This place holds so many memories, and is just a great place to walk around in. I haven't seen any dangerous wildlife, nor any dangerous insects.

Even though signs are abundant that there are fines for off leash dogs I have encountered many off leash dogs. Still love this park, the views of the Ottawa River through the trees at sunrise are stunning. Trails are well maintained. New trail signs went up...

Had a Saturday afternoon stroll with my family. I read a previous review that this park was "stroller friendly". If you are taking the path along Laurentian Drive and the yellow access road on the map, YES..it is stroller friendly. Once you go down the hill towards the Old Fish Pond, NO it's not stroller friendly because of the tree roots. It rained a few days prior so there was lots of mud.

Beautiful views of the Ottawa River when you are the North part of the trail (minus the power lines). Overall, great trail for walks for the...
