The Mackenzie King Estate was created by William Lyon Mackenzie King, Canada’s 10th and longest-serving prime minister. For more than four decades, Mackenzie King spent most of his summers at the Estate. He gradually expanded and beautified the grounds, and eventually came to own 231 hectares (2.31 square kilometres) of land. In 2013, the cottages were restored, and now feature interactive exhibits that take visitors back in time to King’s era.The Mackenzie King Estate is a special place where you can spend the entire day enjoying nature. From the moment you enter the Estate, you will feel as though you have been taken back to the early 1900s. Enjoy a quiet walk on the wooded paths, or listen to the story of the Estate as told by one of our guide-interpreters.

Notes from "Historic Parks of Montreal and Quebec"

Mackenzie King Estate located in the Gatineau Park in the Outaouais Region of Quebec was created by William Lyon Mackenzie King, Canada’s tenth Prime Minister.

The gardens and grounds cover over two square miles of wooded trails and waterfalls.

The original cottages of Kingswood and Moorside have been restored taking you back in time to the era of Mackenzie King.

The trails of the Estate link with a broader trail of Gatineau Park.
