Past

Tiny Village Ottawa River was previously Ryan’s Campsite and Gifts. The campsite has the same owner, Bob, for over 50 years! Although Bob has retired ownership, we are extremely proud and grateful to Bob. He has undoubtedly left a lasting legacy, and we will continue to uphold the park to his vision.

As hinted within the name, Ryan’s Campsite and *GIFTS* had a thriving gift shop where they would sell an assortment of items, their most popular being moccasins!

History

The Ottawa River watershed is the traditional territory of the Algonquin people, whose roots lead back the the very first residents of the land. The Algonquin people called the river Kichi Sipi, meaning “The Great River”.

For First Nations, the Ottawa River was the main route of transportation into the western interior, where the Algonquin controlled the territory. The route was so popular that, strategically, the Kichisipirini group charged other nations tolls to use the Ottawa River.
