Norway Bay is a long-established cottage community located along the Ottawa River in the heart of Bristol. Known for its quiet streets, mature trees, and historic character, the area has welcomed generations of summer residents from across Quebec and Ontario. Once connected to Sand Point, Ontario by ferry, it played an important role in local transportation and tourism in the early 1900s.
Today, Norway Bay continues to be a popular summer destination, with a mix of seasonal cottages and year-round homes. The public beach and dock area remain central gathering spots, offering space for swimming, walking, and enjoying the waterfront. Community life here is relaxed and friendly, shaped by both its rich history and its strong ties to the land and water.
