Things to do in Pembroke
Nestled in the heart of the Ottawa Valley on the shores of the scenic Ottawa River, Pembroke is a charming small town about an hour-and-a-half drive from Ottawa. A hub that embraces its rich past in the architecture of the historic buildings that grace its lively downtown, you may know Pembroke for its 30 Heritage Murals that dot the city. If you are a walker, you’ll enjoy the Kiwanis Waterfront Trail, and the Champlain Trail Museum and Pioneer Village (next door to Chartwell Pinewood), worth a visit for its 1800s schoolhouse, log house and church.
Pembroke offers a vibrant shopping scene, with local independent fashion and gift boutiques sprouting in the downtown core. You’ll find two malls and power centres to satisfy all other retail needs, including Walmart and Winners. Don’t forget about the equally vibrant restaurant scene: be sure to visit the Whitewater Brewing Company for locally brewed beers and casual dining, not to mention a full range of chain restaurants throughout the town.
