    Tips

    Best view from King Mountain Trail in Gatineau Park. Start your round trip hike on King Mountain in Gatineau Park at P7 Kingsmere. This hike has some steeper sections.

      This survey marker was built in 1905, to assist surveyors using a triangulation system. Unlike other common surveyor marks, this is not a summit marker (as this is not the mountain's summit). It was built here because of the location's easy visibility from many other locations below, thus making triangulation easier from multiple other points. This marker was the first if it's kind built in the country.
