The park protects one of the last stretches of the Ottawa River that has not been modified by flooding or dams for power generation. Accessing the park's islands requires a whitewater trip on the river. Some of the islands provide only informal wilderness trails that are not maintained or marked.
The Ottawa River is a river in the Canadian provinces of Ontario and Quebec. It is named after the Algonquin word "to trade", as it was the major trade route of Eastern Canada at the time. For most of its length, it defines the border between these two provinces. It is a major tributary of the St. Lawrence River and the longest river in Quebec.
