Irie Guy Posted July 4, 2011 Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 Looking for a drive that will get the kiddos napping prior to a Bluesfest evening. A 2hr maximum car ride from downtown out to something scenic hopefully and back. Suggestions would be very helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hartamophone Posted July 4, 2011 Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 I'm a big fan of taking the back roads into the Rideau Lakes area, towards Lombardy, Rideau Ferry and Perth. Nothing too spectacular, but peaceful country roads and lots of lakes once you get into that area. You'd be looking at two hours, there and back.

Dr_Evil_Mouse Posted July 4, 2011 Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 Or cross into Gatineau; get into Gatineau Park (Blvd. Alexandre-Tache west from downtown), and pick any range of roads you'd like; the one to the Champlain lookout is worth seeing - the signs are hard to miss. Then come back, and it's all good, I'd wager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ollie Posted July 4, 2011 Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 If you want to tire them out take them for a hike in Gatineau park! Be careful about driving in and out of the downtown core around rush hour though. Shouldn't be as bad this week with a lot of people on vacation.
