Getting from Ottawa Airport (YOW) to Gatineau Park takes about 35 min by car on an empty road (35–45 min in heavy traffic) over 29 km via 79 and 5. Our private transfer costs €60 for a car with 1–3 passengers or €85 for a van with 4–8 — the vehicle price you see is the price you pay at booking.
On arrival: The driver waits for you on Level 1, the Arrivals level of the terminal, holding a sign with your name, after you have collected your bags (international and US arrivals: after the Customs Hall exit). If the flight is late, the driver adjusts to the real landing time; 60 minutes of waiting are included and help with the luggage is part of the service.
Gatineau Park is a large protected area of forest, lakes and hills managed by the National Capital Commission, starting at the northern edge of Gatineau. From the airport the route crosses central Ottawa and one of the bridges to Hull, then follows Autoroute 5 north to Old Chelsea, where the Visitor Centre is on Chemin Scott. The Gatineau, Champlain and Fortune Lake parkways lead into the hills; in winter the parkways are closed to cars and used as ski trails.
The Visitor Centre in Chelsea is the usual starting point, with trail maps and parking. Pink Lake, a meromictic lake with a boardwalk trail around it, is a short drive west along the Gatineau Parkway. Further on are the Champlain Lookout over the Ottawa Valley and the Mackenzie King Estate, the former prime minister's summer home. Meech Lake and Lac Philippe have beaches in summer, and in autumn the parkways are busy on weekends during the colour season.
Public transport instead: OC Transpo light rail O-Train Line 4 from Airport station (linked to Level 3, north end of the terminal) to South Keys station (connection to O-Train Line 2), from 6:00 am to midnight. No direct public transport from the airport to Gatineau Park. Reaching the park by transit means travelling into downtown Ottawa and Gatineau first; most park sectors, such as Pink Lake and the lookouts, are served only by road.
