The viewpoint on this hike is worth every step. Did you know that in Algonquin Provincial Park, you can visit a lookout over a gigantic canyon?

To see it for yourself, you'll want to head to Barron Canyon Trail, which is two hours and 15 minutes from Ottawa.


The one-and-a-half-kilometre well-marked path takes approximately one hour to complete.

You'll get to see bright blue water, smell the fresh scent of surrounding evergreen trees, and marvel at the canyon from a safe distance before returning to the parking lot.

If you think you are up to the challenge of this moderate trek, it is time to plan a road trip to see it for yourself.
