Panorama view of Ottawa and Gatineau. Nice place to relax after seeing the National Gallery. There are seats so bring your lunch and enjoy the view

Challenging to find but worth it!

May 2018 • Couples

We had a hard time finding Nepean Point because I was trying to map it from the car; it is only accessible on foot. However once we found it, the view is amazing! It is tucked behind/above the art museum and we were lucky enough to find parking behind the museum. It is a great spot to take photos of the city, Parliament Hill, etc.

Nice Walk With A View

Aug 2019

Lots of people walking around and taking pictures by the statue. I think its the highest place in the city. Definitely worth the walk and the surrounding park area.

Excellent location for photos of Ottawa and Gatineau

Oct 2018 • Couples

Stood atop Nepean Point one day in the fall. The view was beautiful and it's a great vantage point to see the Ottawa River and beyond.

You can see from far away

Nepean Point, gives you the advantage of seeing Ottawa/Gatineau from far away. Overlooking the Ottawa River, Parliament, the Canadian Museum of Civilization, and other features of downtown.

From Nepean Point, you get a fabulous view over the Ottawa River of Quebec, particularly the beautiful Museum of Civilization. It is also a great place to view the fireworks on Parliament Hill on the 1st of July.

Popular Venue with a View

There used to be an outdoor theatre here that has recently been torn down for much need renovation. There is a prominent view from ere of the Ottawa River, Parliament and Gatineau. The statue of Samuel de Champlain is notorious for holding aloft an astrolabe upside down.

Samuel de Champlain - Nepean Point

The view while sitting at Samuel de Champlain's feet, looking Westerly to lands unknown to him. There used to be an Algonquin or Cree warrior/guide sitting at his feet, so subverviently, however, they found him a beautiful spot in Major's Hill Park across the road. This warrior knew what laid ahead......
