Some 400 years ago, during Champlain’s travels, the only access to the Pontiac was by the Ottawa River. Nowadays, roads from all four cardinal points lead to the Pontiac. In the South, the MRC Pontiac is delineated by the Ottawa River (a natural border between Quebec and Ontario); to the West by Abitibi-Témiscamingue, in the North by La Vérendrye natural reserve, and to the East are the MRCs Collines-de-l'Outaouais and Vallée de la Gatineau.
