Day Trip in the Ottawa Valley. . .

Ontario's last working water-powered sawmill, in Balaclava

Wondering what you'll do when staying at Dwyer's Farmhouse? Well, if the sheer relief of fresh country air and relaxation isn't enough, there are plenty of attractions in the area. You might simply drive down the less-traveled back roads - find history and charm galore, like the old saw mill in Balaclava.

If you'd like to learn a little bit about "your neighbourhood", you might consider the Bonnechere Museum -

"The museum traces the local history, the legends and lifestyles, and the major events that helped shape the various municipalities that share the Bonnechere River"

We are centrally located . . . only 15 minutes to Eganville, Cobden or Renfrew! So you might enjoy trying some local tourism destinations*

In the summer...

7 minutes to the Bonnechere Caves
25 minutes to Storyland
20 minutes to Logos Land Resort
Several local golf courses (eg. Logos Land or Whitetail Golf Club, Eganville)
White-water trips down the Ottawa or Madawaska River (eg. Owl Rafting or Esprit Rafting)
Horseback Riding (eg. Pinto Valley Ranch, Arnprior)
Even Douglas Beach is right on the Bonnechere River. Have a swim, or drop a fishing boat/canoe/kayak for a nice scenic trip.

In the winter...

Near various ski / tubing locations, such as Calabogie Peaks, Mount Pakenham or Logos Land Resort
Marked provincial snowmobile trails come right through Douglas & area - we're one of many great destinations you'll find at Ontario Snowmobiling!
