How do you get to the Pontiac?

From Montreal, Hull and Ottawa

Go to Hull and then Aylmer. Take Highway 148, and it will lead you straight to the Pontiac while showing you the magnificent scenery of the Ottawa river and of the Laurentians. A bit after Quyon, you will see an intersection between Highway 148 and Wyman road, there you will find a tourist information booth of the Bureau of Tourism for the Pontiac. You can stop here for some information on the region. The PPJ Cyclopark starts a couple meters from the booth, at an intersection between Wyman road and Gold Mine road.

From Waltham and Pembroke

If you are coming from the west and Highway 17 (Sault St-Marie, Algonquin Park, North Bay) or from Detroit, Niagara Falls, Toronto, it will take you less time to get to the Pontiac if you go by Pembroke, and then Allumettes Island where you will find a tourist information booth. Here you can ask for information about the activities and the services in the Pontiac.

You can then go straight to Waltham, the old train terminal, where you can leave your car and take the PPJ Cyclopark either towards Fort Coulonge, or to Allumettes Island and to explore the Black River and Fort William.

From Renfrew and Portage-du-Fort

If you are going to the Pontiac through Renfrew, aim for Portage-du-Fort. You will cross the Outaouais River on the roadway of a dam which is located between many beautiful islands. On your right, after you cross the dam, you will find a tourist information booth. You can admire the majestic stone houses that survived the great fire of 1914 that destroyed over 80% of the town in a couple hours. You can then get on the PPJ Cyclopark by going either to Shawville or Campbell's Bay.

From Arnprior and Quyon

Coming from Ottawa by Highway 17, you can cross the river from Ontario with the ferry which will take you to Quyon. From there, you can go to Wyman by joining Highway 148 and turning to your left, in a westerly direction. A couple kilometers further, you will find a tourist information booth and the beginning of the PPJ Cyclopark. A loop road will lead you to the beautiful Pontiac Bay.

Through the Outaouais and Temiscamingue Waterway
