The highlands of Gatineau Park are roughly defined by the Ottawa River to the south and the Gatineau River to the north. In the triangle formed by these two rivers, the Park acts as a protected enclave for diverse wildlife and vegetation.

Two key management principles of Gatineau Park as a conservation park are:

  • not to intervene in the natural process unless necessary (with some exceptions such as the beaver management program)
  • to only permit recreation that is environmentally respectful
