Watch out for OPP, Ottawa Police, and RCMP officers. Ottawa is the capitol of Canada and because of the 2014 shootings at Parliament Hill, these officers are more uptight now. Talk to them in a calm manner if you encounter them and try to explain your situation as if you are stuck, and need to get somewhere, rather than I am hitchhiking because I think it is fun and adventurous.

Cornwall from Ottawa is fairly difficult. It may be just better to just hitchhike to the 401 (follow directions to Toronto), then at the onroutes ask people who are going to Cornwall. (Make sure you get dropped at a onroute going the direction Montreal rather than Toronto, or get dropped at prescott) This is a less direct ride but you have much better chances on the 401.
However, it is possible to hitchhike to Cornwall with a shorter method. Follow instructions hitchhike to Montreal. Tell the driver to drop you at Casselman. take 138 road. This is supposed to be a 80km limit road but drivers treat it like a highway so STAY SAFE.
here you can flag cars down directly to Cornwall. I did this in the winter hitch-biking with a foldable bike. Took 5 hours in total. [[User:Jackfang|Jackfang]]

Take the 118 to the furthest West of Baseline. It should be called Baseline and Robertson Rd. Here you will see the 416 highway, which goes as South as Prescott. At the entrance ramp here, you can find a ride usually to Kemptville. That is about halfway. Then on the next onramp get to Prescott. Once at Prescott you can find the onramp for the 401 direction Toronto. Try to get to a OnRoute (Ontario service station). Here there is a lot of restaurants and so people have time to chat with you to determine if they trust you or not. At night these service stations are reliable places to hitchhike. Try to hitchhike at a service station without looking like a hitchhiker, so that you have less chance of getting kicked out.
[[User:Jackfang|Jackfang]] ''If the driver offers to drop you off at a small town along the 416 that you have never heard of, you may end up getting stuck. I got stuck many times in Spencerville, and Oxford Station. I was stuck because a car at these on-ramps comes by every 30 minutes, low in traffic. You might want to find a direct ride from the Ottawa 416 on ramp directly, rather than getting dropped in the middle of nowhere. What i ended up doing when I was stuck was walking directly to the highway. This is a big risk if a cop sees me because I will get fined.''== Nomadwiki & Trashwiki == {{nomadwiki}}
