I’ve heard from a lot of people that they want to get out hiking, but that they also need to have a washroom near by. So, here’s a list of hiking trails in and around Ottawa that have a bathroom either at the trailhead or along the trail! Click any trail for the full trail report and more details about the location of the bathroom.
As with everything these days, things can change quickly and washrooms may not be open due to COVID, so I recommend checking with the organizations who manage the individual trails.
Trails that are not open in winter are in italics.
