 Information
Kiwanis Way is a paved bike,
roller blading and walking trail that follows a small portion of the
Pembroke river front. This tour begins at Riverside Park and goes to
the Pembroke Marina, or you can complete the trail in the reverse. This
short 4 km trail allows for excellent views of the Ottawa River, as
well as a chance to see a Pointer Boat monument. At the far end of the
Marina, there is a plaque that explains how Pembroke became known as
“Capistrano of the North.” This is a great ride for the whole
family.
