MATTAWA, Ontario |
|
|
Mattawa has a beautiful setting at the confluence of the Ottawa and Mattawa Rivers. The town was a crossroads
for explorers like Samuel de Champlain, Étienne Brűlé, Jean Nicolet, and many others. In the 1800s Mattawa grew into
a lumber centre. This history is celebrated with wooden statues throughout the town, the biggest of which is a 17 foot
statue of local folk hero Big Joe Mufferaw.
