The Ottawa Valley Recreational Trail follows a long, converted rail corridor through small towns, farmland, forests, and riverside stretches between Smiths Falls, Renfrew, and Mattawa. The route is wide and mostly flat, making it great for walking, running, or cycling, with long open sections and quieter wooded stretches. Expect steady views of rural Ontario, occasional river crossings, and easy access points in the communities along the way. It’s a simple, scenic way to explore the Ottawa Valley at a relaxed pace.
