Heritage Plaques of The Ottawa Valley

Rapids Of The Upper Ottawa

   
 

 
   
 

Plaque Location
The County of Renfrew
The United Townships of Head, Clara & Maria
In Deux Riviθres, on the east side of Dunlap Crescent, street number 730, just north of Highway 17 just west of the bridge

 
       
 

Plaque Summary
For over two centuries, the canoe was the only means of transportation between the St. Lawrence settlements and the vast hinterland to the west and north. Four sets of dangerous rapids on the Ottawa River were the first of many obstacles faced by the intrepid explorers and adventurers in Canada's early years.
