Mattawa

Mattawa lies at the confluence of the Mattawa and Ottawa rivers in northeastern Ontario, a position that made it an important passage on the water route between the Great Lakes and the Ottawa Valley. Forested Canadian Shield terrain surrounds the town, while the two rivers still define its scale and direction. These waterways served Indigenous travellers for generations and later carried fur-trade voyageurs; the Mattawa River formed part of the historic link from Lake Nipissing to the Ottawa River. Mattawa remains a compact river town rooted in northern Ontario’s expansive backcountry. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across Ontario.
