Welcome to Carp

The village of Carp is located in the most western ward of the City of Ottawa, approximately 10 minutes West of Kanata. Carp is the perfect location if you are looking for a small town feel and rural living, but don’t want to be far from the city. This agriculturally rooted town is still home to generations of families and with newly constructed communities, it is quickly becoming a welcoming place for newcomers that are looking for the perfect mix of country and city. Carp is home to many large properties with land that buyers are eager to purchase these days. The town also boasts many tight-knit communities with single or semi-detached homes and townhomes that are perfect for families, singles, or retiree’s. For workers with a commute, Carps neighbouring communities, Stittsville and Kanata offer many Park n Ride locations where transportation can be organized if travelling closer downtown or to the east end of Ottawa. This quiet, quaint community is the ideal place to live if you are looking to escape the busy city life and find something a little more country with amenities by the dozen as a place to call your new home.

Attractions in Carp

For having a small population of around 2,000 residents, Carp is full of attractions. It’s main street is jam packed with small and trendy businesses run by friendly locals. A night out at a fancy restaurant in the city will not be needed, as the village of Carp has everything you need at your own backdoor. Things to do include:

Alice’s Cafe: This restaurant is in the heart of downtown Carp. They offer great meals from breakfast through to dinner. They also serve amazing coffee and tea if you’re just in the mood for a quick drink. Their patio overlooking downtown is also a great place to spend a casual evening with the family, or a night out without the kids.

Ridge Rock Brewing Company: This brewery was created in 2018 by 4 locals who do an amazing job representing Carp history. The wood used to make their tables and bar top are made from local trees that were dried in a homemade solar kiln in one of the owner’s backyards, and the railroad track used underneath the bar top is original to the railway that used to pass through the town. This company also offers a large patio overlooking downtown, perfect for those looking to enjoy the warm summer nights.

Carp Custom Creamery: Who doesn’t love ice cream? This spot offers over 40 flavours of ice cream anyone would enjoy, with gluten free and vegan options also available! You can grab a cone to go or take home a 1L tub of their famous flavours. 

Kin Vineyards: This vineyard sits on 47 beautiful acres in Carp. They make their wine in house and host many events throughout the summer and fall. A night can be enjoyed here sitting outside with a charcuterie board and a glass of wine, or you can spend the day taking a tour and tasting.

The Diefenbunker Museum: Now a museum, this was first created in 1959 during the Cold War as protection for the Government and Military from possible nuclear attacks. Built on a former farm, this 75 foot bunker now offers tours and exhibitions. It is also a great option for something to do on a hot day as it is all underground.

Carp Farmers Market: This local market is one of the best parts of Carp. Every year from May until October, every Saturday morning is dedicated to the farmers market. It is the best place to get anything and everything local. They offer vegetables, preserves, wine, honey, crafts, candles and more. It was named the largest producer-based Farmers’ Market in Eastern Ontario and has the friendliest vendors and visitors you will meet.

Carp Airport: If you’re interested in flying in the passenger seat, Carp Airport now offers Ottawa Bi-Plane Rides Inc. every Saturday in July and August. It is a great way to see the city from a birds eye view.
