Itching to take a road trip from Ottawa? Aren’t we all?
Fortunately, my 2021 guide to road trip destinations within 100 kilometres of Parliament Hill is packed with ideas!
From Canada’s highest bungee jump near Wakefield to a sunken ship in the St. Lawrence River, and from a kayaking spot in Renfrew to a craft brewery in Casselman, Ottawa Road Trips: Your 100-km Getaway Guide has tips to suit just about every interest. And if you don’t have a car, no problem. The guidebook also has chapters on Ottawa neighbourhoods you can reach on foot, by bike or on public transit—including New Edinburgh, the Glebe, Little Italy and Westboro.
So how can you get a copy of this oh-so-valuable book, which is just the perfect size to stow in your glove compartment or pop in your backpack? Let me count the ways!
- You can order it directly from Ottawa Press and Publishing.
- You can buy it from your favourite bookstore anywhere in Canada. If they don’t currently stock the book, ask them to order it. (You’ll have my undying gratitude for giving the book a little publicity.) As of May 2022, the book was in stock at Black Squirrel Books (Old Ottawa South), Books on Beechwood (New Edinburgh), Perfect Books (Elgin Street)—which gave the book a nice shoutout in this Citizen article—Singing Pebble Books (Old Ottawa East) and World of Maps (Wellington West). It is also on order at Mill Street Books (Almonte) and White Pine Books (Arnprior).
- It’s available from Maker House Company in Hintonburg.
- You can buy it from Chapters/Indigo/Coles. As of May 2022, it was in stock at the Rideau Chapters, South Keys Indigo, Pinecrest Indigo, Gloucester Chapters, Barrhaven Indigo, Kanata Chapters, Place d’Orleans Indigospirit and Innes Indigo, as well as the Coles at Carlingwood Mall, Billings Bridge Plaza and Bayshore Shopping Centre.
The list price is $24.95. That’s less than a tank of gas and it will take you much further!
Buy a copy of Ottawa Road Trips: Your 100-km Getaway Guide today so you can start planning your next road trips ASAP! And thank you for your interest! I pulled out all the stops to write this book on a very short deadline, and I hope it leads you on some exciting adventures in Ottawa, Eastern Ontario and the Outaouais. ❤️

I bought your book and am looking forward to visiting locations mentioned in it.
The only issue I have is that there are no maps in in. Each town/village has a list of places to see with their address. I like to plan a trip with the best routing to see all sites in a town and you can’t do that on Google. Fortunately, I have a map of the region so I located the addresses for each site and then plotted the most efficient way to see them. I actually enjoyed doing this as I haven’t used a map in quite awhile but I think a map for each town pointing out he sites would be a plus for your next edition.
Thanks–that’s a great suggestion! This book came together so quickly that we didn’t have the time/capacity to do maps this time, but I’ll mention it to the publisher for future books. And thanks so much for buying the book!
