Ontario is shaped by water—thousands of lakes, endless rivers, and the vast inland seas of the Great Lakes. Loons call across glassy bays, moose wade through marshes, and maples blaze red in the fall. Canoe routes and forest trails wind through one of Canada's richest freshwater landscapes.
Ottawa may be Canada’s capital, but nature runs through its core. The Ottawa and Rideau Rivers meet in a maze of wetlands and forested banks, home to beavers, deer, and ospreys. Beneath the surface, the region hides extensive underwater cave systems and freshwater mussel beds that filter the rivers and support a diverse aquatic ecosystem.
