Quyon Ferry
 |
During the summer, a ferry crosses the Ottawa river from the Dunrobin/West Carleton area to the town of Quyon, Quebec. On the Quebec side there is a park, rest area, and chip wagon, as well as the town. |
|
Taking the ferry across the river makes a nice extension to a trip through the Dunrobin Area or down the Carp Road. During the summer it's not uncommon to have several motorcycles on the ferry for conversation during the 10-minute ride. |
 |
After crossing, you can have a snack and rest and then either return on the ferry, or take Quebec route 148 back to Aylmer and Hull, returning to Ottawa across the Champlain Bridge.
| I generally take the Carp Road, through the town of Carp, and enjoy the twisty S-curves just North of the town.
Continue North on this road. When you get to a stop sign at the first intersection (with a township office and police station on your right) proceed straight through and keep going North. At the next stop sign (road 22), turn right. A couple of kilometres down you'll see a sign for a left turn marked "Ferry" and "Quebec". Take that. Single-rider motorcycles are $2 on the Ferry. |
