Wakefield sur le Golf is located in the heart of Wakefield’s recreational tourism region. This includes three ski hills, two golf courses, a waterpark, spa, several equestrian facilities, and of course the Gatineau River.
The area offers easy access to the famous Gatineau Park, including numerous hiking, mountain biking, snowshoeing and cross-country skiing trails, as well as the beautiful sandy beaches of Philippe Lake and La Pêche Lake.
Established in 1830, the village of Wakefield is the economic and cultural centre of the region. The boardwalk along the river runs alongside an ideal village setting with cafes, bistros, delis, boutiques and art galleries. The village is a true reflection of the values of its creative and independent merchants and was the first village in the province to be a designated FairTrade Village by Transfair Canada.
The area is conveniently served by schools, supermarkets, a hospital, and a scenic highway connecting the municipality to downtown Ottawa in just 30 minutes.
Wakefield sur le Golf offers an ideal lifestyle – an escape from the daily grind, with the great outdoors as your playground and easy access to the region’s major centres.
While its tourist train dollars are long gone, the proudly-weird town of Wakefield is reimagining itself as a place known for culture and outdoor fun.
