Mattawa River Canoe Race

Saturday July 28rd, 2012
The Mattawa River Canoe Race in Mattawa Voyageur Country has attracted paddlers from across North America for over 30 years!

On Saturday July 28rd 2012, retrace the paddle strokes of the 'whose who' of Canadian Historical figures that have paddled the Mattawa River (National Heritage River).

This one-day race traces 64km of calm lakes, portages and challenging rapids and is known as the 'Jewel' of the OMCKRA schedule.
Participants in the competitive, recreational and voyageur canoe categories will paddle this Fur Trade Route, once a main artery for travel across Canada. Participants in the family category paddle a 13km course, providing great opportunity to develop the skills and interest of current and future paddling enthusiasts.

Exciting for Racers and Spectators!
There is no way to describe the energy at the finish line in downtown Mattawa. Specatators and racers will have lots to do after the race amidst the excitement of the Voyageur Days Festival.

Visit the 'Things to do' section of this website for great activities to take in before and after the race!
