Discover the magical colours of autumn in greenspaces and urban areas throughout Canada’s capital region during the annual Fall Rhapsody event.
Whether you're interested in wildlife, weird and wonderful plants, wetlands, or waxing your skis, the Greenbelt has something for you. This is nature at its most accessible — 20,000 hectares of green space stretching through Ottawa from east to west. It's a great place to enjoy outdoor recreation, like hiking, and to learn about the natural world. With its diversity of natural ecosystems, rural landscapes and heritage sites, the Greenbelt is also a fascinating destination for educational field trips. MER BLEUE With more than 20 kilometres of trails, Mer Bleue offers plenty of opportunities for hiking. You can take a self-guided tour on the Mer Bleue Bog Trail, a 1.2-kilometre interpretive boardwalk. Check out the Dewberry Trail, as well. Photography and birdwatching are also popular activities at Mer Bleue. There's so much to see and do in the Greenbelt — check out our interactive map to discover the other sectors. FRESH PRODUCE FROM OUR GREENBELT FARMERS Canada's Capital Greenbelt is home to a tantalizing bounty of local produce and a place to enjoy unique experiences. Pick your own crisp apples at a historic orchard, or collect sap from maple trees at a pioneer sugar bush. You can also purchase a variety of fruits, vegetables and herbs from farm stands or at several farmers' markets within the city. Every season, there's something new to explore at a Greenbelt farm. FALL RHAPSODY IN THE CAPITAL This year, get away from the crowds, and visit the Greenbelt for breathtaking views of scenic fall landscapes. The Greenbelt is a natural haven for plants and wildlife, and is a photographer's paradise — located just minutes from downtown Ottawa.
