Gatineau Park, Protected conservation area in Quebec, Canada.

The park spans 361 square kilometers of forests, lakes, and hills, offering opportunities for hiking, cycling, and winter sports throughout the year.

Established in 1938, Gatineau Park emerged as a conservation project to protect natural landscapes and create recreational spaces near Canada's capital region.

The Mackenzie King Estate within the park preserves the summer residence of Canada's former Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie King.

Visitors can access the park through multiple entry points from Ottawa-Gatineau, with the main visitor center located in Chelsea providing information and equipment rentals.

Pink Lake in the park contains rare blue-green waters due to specific organic matter, making it different from typical freshwater lakes.
