Hawkesbury is a small town with big vibes—and it’s perfectly positioned between Ottawa and Montreal, making it a hidden gem for road trippers and locals alike. Whether you’re cruising down Highway 17 or heading out on a lazy Sunday with your favourite legal cannabis products in tow (purchased responsibly, of course!), there’s no shortage of scenic, relaxing, and lowkey adventures nearby.
At Aces Cannabis, your go-to Hawkesbury cannabis store, we know the value of a good vibe. So we’ve curated the ultimate guide to cannabis-friendly day trips that pair well with a sesh, a stroll, and some solid snacks.
🌳 1. L’Orignal Beach & Park – 10 Minutes from Aces Cannabis
Perfect for: Edibles, infused beverages, joints
Distance: ~10 km
Roll one, pop an edible, or sip a cannabis-infused drink (all legally and safely, of course) before heading down to L’Orignal Beach. It’s a peaceful local spot to chill by the water, toss a frisbee, or enjoy a mellow day under the sun. Just remember: no smoking on the beach itself, so enjoy beforehand or bring a vape for a discreet experience nearby.
Local tip: Grab your goodies from Aces Cannabis Hawkesbury before heading out. We’re right on Main Street East, so you’re already halfway there.
🌾 2. Voyageur Provincial Park – Nature Meets Nostalgia
Perfect for: Sativa flower, pre-rolls, topicals
Distance: ~15 km
If you’re craving trees, trails, and total tranquility, Voyageur Provincial Park has you covered. This park is ideal for a nature walk, bird watching, or laying in a hammock with a good playlist and a mild buzz. A high-energy Sativa strain can enhance your senses and keep the good vibes going.
Strain suggestion: Ask our budtenders at Aces for a sativa with citrusy terpenes (like limonene) to boost your outdoor adventure.
🛶 3. Vankleek Hill – Small-Town Vibes with Big Personality
Perfect for: Balanced hybrids, vape pens, low-dose edibles
Distance: ~20 km
Hop in the car for a short drive to Vankleek Hill, also known as Ontario’s Gingerbread Capital. Whether you’re browsing local shops or sipping something cold at Beau’s Brewery (for the non-infused crew), this is a great place to enjoy a light buzz and a bit of local culture.
Pro move: Bring a discreet vape pen or a balanced gummy for a smooth, manageable high while you wander.
🧺 4. Chenail Cultural Centre & Confederation Park – A Mindful Microdose Moment
Perfect for: Microdose edibles, CBD drops, low-THC flower
Distance: ~5 km
This charming riverside park and cultural centre is perfect for mindfulness, creativity, or a slow-paced hangout. Walk the grounds, check out the art exhibits, or just journal and unwind. A CBD-rich strain or low-dose edible fits this vibe perfectly—something to relax without overpowering the moment.
Find your chill: Our Hawkesbury dispensary has a range of CBD products and microdosed edibles ideal for calm, daytime enjoyment.
🌅 5. Sunset Drive to Pointe-Fortune – Golden Hour and Good Vibes
Perfect for: Infused drinks, vape pens, mood-boosting sativa
Distance: ~25 km loop
Sometimes the best trip is the one with no destination. Take a drive west toward Pointe-Fortune, rolling through farmland and along the Ottawa River. Time it with golden hour and you’re in for a cinematic drive. This one’s all about soaking up the atmosphere.
Bring a zero-sugar cannabis beverage or discreet live-resin vape cart from Aces to enhance the experience without overpowering it.
⚠️ A Friendly Reminder from Aces Cannabis: Consume Responsibly
We love pairing cannabis with adventure, but always:
-
Consume before you drive, not while driving or after.
-
Use legal, tested cannabis from licensed stores like Aces.
-
Respect local laws—no public consumption in parks or public spaces.
-
Stay hydrated, plan ahead, and bring a designated driver if needed.
