Laurentian Hills is a serene and spacious municipality in Renfrew County, nestled along the Ottawa River and surrounded by forests, lakes, and open space. Formed in 2000 through the amalgamation of several townships and the Village of Chalk River, the town includes communities like Chalk River, Rolphton, Wylie, Point Alexander, and Meilleurs Bay.
With a population of about 2,900 spread across 630+ square kilometres, Laurentian Hills offers a low-density lifestyle where nature is front and centre. Outdoor recreation thrives here year-round – from boating, fishing and paddling in warm months to snowmobiling, cross-country skiing, and snowshoeing in winter. Trails like the Ottawa Valley Recreation/Algonquin Trail and local snowmobile routes connect the community to broader networks of wilderness and adventure.
Whether you’re drawn by quiet rural living, wide open spaces, or easy access to outdoor life, Laurentian Hills blends the calm of the country with the beauty and vibrancy of the Ottawa Valley.
