Spanning the Ottawa River between Ottawa and Gatineau, the Champlain Bridge provides wide views across one of Canada's most important waterways. From here you can watch boats navigating the river, spot waterbirds along the shoreline, and take in views of wooded islands and the surrounding riverbanks. Opened in 1928 and rebuilt in the early 1970s, the bridge remains a key link between Ontario and Quebec while offering a unique perspective over the Ottawa River's broad channel.
