Mattawa River Visitor Centre

Good displays showing some of the history and historical importance of the region. I wish it had been larger which would have allowed for more depth and broader coverage of first nations history.

Tons of History, they real do an excellent job.

Nice little museum, had a lot of information and cool props to see. Get to learn about the history of the area which was interesting.

Loved this place. Learning about the history of the area is well worth the visit.

Very good summary of First Nation and European history of the area. Excellent geological description that culminated in the formation if the Mattawa River. Big focus on the Voyageur life. Free entry. Washrooms in site. Visited June 28/18.

I've worked here so perhaps I'm a little biased but there are honestly few spots I would rather spend an afternoon. I encourage you to ask as many questions as you want to the staff there. They're always looking for curious guests. Especially with kids, the staff can cater the experience for their interests and show them things that are of special interest to them without needing to sift through the larger volume of information. The rangers also know a lot of anecdotes that haven't made it into the permanent exhibit for lack of space. They also know a fair amount about the trails and activities available in the park so you can better plan your stay.

The camp sites are pretty small and not much privacy however staff are very friendly and facilities are nice and clean.

Beautiful visitor center but staff was not very helpful on departure day :

Excellent exhibits from early transportation in the region

Not a big place but many artifacts for kids to learn about the history in the area.
