The Outaouais region in western Quebec is one of the most accessible and diverse road trip destinations in the province, sitting directly across the Ottawa River from Canada’s capital. It is a region where city and nature exist side by side, with Gatineau acting as the main urban hub while vast parks, rivers, lakes, wildlife areas, and small rural communities extend in every direction. Because of its location, it works especially well as a road trip base where you can move quickly between outdoor adventures, guided tours, and remote nature experiences all within a short driving distance.

Travelling around Ontario for our road trip articles has us passing through so many cute small towns, many of which are easy to overlook if you’re just focused on getting to your destination. One of these towns that I pass through often is called Eganville, located about 90 minutes west of Ottawa and about 4 hours from Toronto. It may be tiny, listing a population of only 1300, but the town is a gateway to some great photography opportunities, scenic hikes, local lakes with beaches, as well as some unique eateries. On my latest road trip through Ontario we took the time to properly explore the area and find out more about the town so we can share it with our readers.

You’re on the move. Maybe flights, planes, cars, ships, or more unconventional forms of transport, heading from A to B. Most of your focus is going to be on wrangling tickets and luggage, making departure times, and keeping yourself as hydrated, rested, and sated as possible as you go. For some people, games take a backseat when it comes to handling vacation prep… but we’re going to explain why they deserve a fair share of your attention, and look at why casinos make a particularly popular pick when you’re away from home.

Beneath the glass towers of downtown Toronto lies a second city that most people pass through without fully understanding its scale. The PATH is often described as an underground shopping network, but that description barely captures what it really is. It functions as a commuter route, a retail system, a weather shield, and one of the largest pedestrian networks in the world.
