The Municipality is currently working on the development of three community access points to the Gatineau River.

By spring 2026, residents will be able to enjoy:

A universally accessible community dock with a 125-meter open-water swimming corridor (in front of Farm Point Park)
A launching ramp for non-motorized boats (in front of the Farm Point community center)
A launching ramp for non-motorized boats (at the end of Burnett Road)

Please note that no closure of the boat ramp in front of the Farm Point Community Center is planned for 2025.
