Sentier Manitou Mountain

The Manitou Mountain Trail is considered one of the best hiking trails in the Ottawa region. This is a popular 9 km loop route for hiking, running, biking, snowshoeing, mountain climbing and bird watching. The tour begins at the Barrett Chute trailhead, then extends west to the Calabogie Road trailhead.

Along this intermediate-level loop, you will pass through pine forests and scenic landscapes. You will enjoy spectacular mountain top views and a breathtaking lookout,. A 4 km ascent to Red Arrow Rock and Manitou Mountain will allow you to see pristine vistas created by ancient glacial spillways.

Note that the trail may become impassable in some places, depending on the climate and that the strong presence of bugs is also to be considered in summer.
