Experience the best of what Mattawa has to offer licensed anglers of all experience levels at with us Mattawa River Resort; the ideal home-away-from-home, located right on the Mattawa River.

Find your ideal spot along the 76-km long river and cast your line in search of that prize Muskie, Large or Smallmouth Bass, Sturgeon or Northern Pike. Mattawa River Resort features our very own private boat-launch which is open to both day-pass holders and resort guests, so you can haul your own vessel down to the water’s edge, or reserve a canoe or paddle-boat in advance. Fed from Trout Lake to the East, this legendary Ontario waterway divides the province with the mountainous Quebec border, and was once intrinsic to both the fur and logging trades.

It flows to the west into the Ottawa River, offering hour after hour of undisturbed fishing. Today, it is a popular destination for outdoor sportsmen and women, making for memorable expeditions and experiences that are sure to keep you coming back year after year.
