Located in the north of the Outaouais, the Vallée-de-la-Gatineau gives homage to a rich history of courage and determination, also known as the log drive. This ancient pioneer lifestyle is synonymous with success, independence and honour. In Maniwaki, the Parc du Draveur and the Parc thématique du Pythonga show their respect for the historic log drivers.
