The 2017 and 2019 floods caused damage in the National Capital Region, including the collapse of a section of the Gatineau River shoreline and pathway in Leamy Lake Park.
The National Capital Commission (NCC) modified a section of the Gatineau River Pathway to create a trail that is beyond the flood-prone areas, ensuring public safety and protecting the natural habitat of the Chorus Frog.
Spring/summer 2025
- Excavation and complete removal of the trail bed along the Gatineau River
- Restoration of the Chorus Frog habitat
The Gatineau River Pathway is part of the Capital Pathway system, one of the largest trails systems in North America. More than 600 km of multi-use trails connect beautiful natural spaces, parks, flower gardens as well as museums and attractions.
