Songwood Forest

1 site · Lodging88 acres · Oxford Station, ON
Songwood is 88 acres of oldfield-farm-turned Managed Forest, backing onto hundreds of acres of County land, part of Limerick Forest. It sits on the traditional territory of the Anishnabek and Haudenosaunee Peoples. We say “miigwech” and “niá:wen” to thank them and other Indigenous Peoples for taking care of this land from time immemorial and for sharing the land with those of us who are newcomers. After centuries as part of the borderlands between the Algonquin and Iroquois native peoples, the land was surveyed by European settlers in 1791, but the ground conditions were so poor that the first settler did not occupy this property until the mid-1850’s. Over the next century, the land was cleared and farming was attempted. But because of the shallow soil and wet conditions, the land was not good for farming. By the 1950’s, the fields in the southern end of the property were abandoned, allowing the pioneer varieties of plants and trees to once again spring up. In 1969, the Graham family purchased the property and began the process of introducing suitable tree seedlings to abandoned fields, to aid in habitat regeneration for wildlife. The only harvesting of the farm’s trees is for firewood, to aid in the development of a healthy ecosystem, and to maintain the trails by which to enjoy nature. In 2006, the property received FSC certification based on our sustainable forest management approach. Today, we are a proud member of the Ontario Woodlot Association. We love to share our forest! Recently, we renovated a small cabin in the woods to provide a space to withdraw into nature for a bit, to embrace a little forest therapy. It’s also a place for our five children and eight grandchildren to come home to. We hope you enjoy your stay.

Camp, Ottawa river, Grenville C-O-G

11 sites · RVs, Tents59 acres · Brownsburg Chatham, QC
Come and enjoy a traditional, rustic camping experience on the mighty Ottawa River! Bring your water shoes and a canoe or kayak, or you may rent one of ours for an unforgettable adventure. C-O-G is located on the Quebec side of the Ottawa River, east of the bridge that passes over from Hawkesbury, Ontario. This beautiful (mostly) deciduous forest is situated on both sides of the 344/Rte Des Outaouais. The 59 acre property (50 acres on land, ~9 acres of river/water) features scenic views, privacy and is host to many outdoor activities such as swimming, canoeing, kayaking, fishing and more. "Lock Lane Point" ...the shared area Also referred to as "the Point", this is the peninsula that the main roadway ends at (where the BBQ, kayaks and canoes are), this is a shared area for us and our guests to enjoy. It's encouraged that guests feel welcome to come and go freely, promoting a sense of community while respecting shared use. The Point offers a large picnic table, a shared propane BBQ, comfortable seating, a large rock perfect for sunbathing, and a river view. It's an ideal spot for swimming and launching canoe, kayak, or paddle-board river excursions, thanks to its shallow entry and rocky bottom. Adventurous visitors might choose to paddle upriver, around an island, and return through the remaining historic canal. For a more strenuous workout, consider paddling up the canal to the Grenville lighthouse and then drifting all the way back to camp with the river's current. Enjoy this historic, lazy river experience! Amenities... Numerous amenities are located within a distance of 1-3 kms, including a gas station with electric vehicle charging facilities, an IGA grocery store, and various restaurants such as McDonald's and Tim Horton's. For a classic poutine experience, Jos Patate is a great choice, having been around for many decades. If you're looking for a wide range of poutine options, La Fromagerie is the place to go. For ice cream lovers, La Crémière, located in the same building, is a must-visit. Tourism... Numerous tourist attractions are conveniently located in the vicinity, such as the exhilarating white water rafting experience on the Rouge River and the wildlife-filled Parc Omega zoo, both within a short 10-25 km distance. For a wider range of activities, day trips to Ottawa, Montreal, the Calypso water park, or Mont Tremblant are all approximately an hour's drive away. A little History... Our property has played host to a portion of the rich history of this area which included three railway tracks, a canal and a lock. The railway beds remain and the lock has simply been flooded over. Following the war of 1812, three Ottawa river canal systems were constructed between 1819 and 1833 to bypass the Long Sault Rapids on the Ottawa river. These canals were in use until 1961 when a large portion of the canal system was submerged due to the construction of a hydro-electric dam (~22kms downriver) at Carillion. As a result, the river level at our property rose high enough to submerge the top of the lock walls by ~3.5 feet. This submerged lock is located a few hundred feet offshore and can be seen using Google Earth as it measures 50' x 300' in size. Once you have a good idea where it is, throw on your water shoes and a life jacket and enjoy an interesting experience of walking on the walls of a submerged lock.

Lawrence River, history and natural wonders meet.

Camping near Cornwall guide

Overview

In many ways, this small city has always been defined by the river that flows past its downtown. Originally settled by United Empire Loyalists—Americans loyal to the British crown after the American Revolution—European history here dates back to the 18th century, and First Nations history, much longer. Tour St. Raphael’s Ruins National Historic Site, the remains of what was one of the oldest Roman Catholic churches in English Canada. Then get outside—there’s an excellent riverfront park right in the heart of town, as well as a bike trail that traces the St. Lawrence, perfect for spotting big cargo ships passing by. Plus, plenty of great camping nearby.

Where to go

Set on the Rideau River and part of the Rideau Canal UNESCO World Heritage Site, this park offers water-based adventures. Swim at Main Beach, which has a gradual, family-friendly drop-off, or fish for bass and pickerel, or try boating or paddling upstream or down, passing through the hand-cranked locks along the 202-kilometre canal that has connected Ottawa with the St. Lawrence since 1832. 

Charlottenburg Park

Less than 20 kilometres east of Cornwall, this conservation area sits along the St. Lawrence. Swim at the beach, or hike and bike on the four-kilometre, looped path, which connects with a larger network of trails. You could ride all the way upriver to the Thousand Islands and Toronto, or downstream to Montreal. 

When to go

Summer is the height of the tourist season—for better and worse. This is the best, hottest time to get outside, swim, and paddle. But it’s also very busy, with Canadians making the most of the warm months before the inevitable arrival of a long winter. April can be rainy, and days warm through May, with the best camping in June, July, August, and early September. In autumn, the trees change colour, with the height of the fall colours peaking around Canadian Thanksgiving in early October. If you love the snow, come for ice fishing and cross-country ski trails.

Know before you go

  • Getting to Cornwall won’t be a problem—the city is located on Canada’s busiest transit corridor. VIA Rail trains roll through town several times a day, connecting Toronto and Montreal.
  • You’re best to stock up on supplies in town before heading to the hinterlands.
  • The United States is right next door, across the river, but if you plan to cross, don’t forget to pack your passport.
  • Not far from the Quebec border, about 20 percent of local residents speak French as their mother tongue. Most also speak English but not all.
