looking for advice, Provincial Park on Mattawa or Ottawa River?

[chris.brock]

Any experience with these parks?

 

Samuel de Champlain, Driftwood or Fitzroy?

 

I know all PPs are somehow pretty similar, but I would like to hear some reviews, I'm guessing Driftwood would be the most interesting fishing wise, I'm bringing a boat

 

I'll probably be up that way in a week or so

 

any private campgrounds recommended?

 

thanks

You should consider Sid Turcotte Park in Mattawa,with the Mattawa and Ottawa rivers at your door step there is an amazing amount of water to fish.I am a seasonal there and will show you a few spots..

Lauberge des pionier is also a very nice spot. Spent 4 days there with some buds. Nice cabins, launch is great and good rates.

Rick is a very nice guy!

 

Access to a great stretch of river with some excellent fishing.

Can't go wrong with any of them up there Chris !! The fishing is awesome out of any of those parks !! Driftwood is great and gives you miles and miles of river to fish and you can trailer around the swisha dam and fish below for miles and miles too !!!!! The fast current below the dam is insane !!!! But further down a bit there is anything & everything to catch !!! Pm me I might be there in a week or so myself !!!!

I know and have fished every inch of the river for about 40 miles in either direction !!!! Lol .....

Have been to driftwood a few times. Great facilities and nice double boat launch. The fishing is very good. Lots of Walleye and Smallies with a few good Pike thrown in the mix. I don't think they take reservations so first come first served.

Launched out of Fitzroy 10 yrs ago. 100 yds off boat launch, hit a big unmarked rock.

 

Ruined the weekend. Water levels fluctuate due to hydro dam changes

 

Beware

Samuel de Champlain is a beautiful park. You have Amable du Fond and Pautois cr. for speckles, and moore lake and endless water on the Mattawa river (even Chant Plein lake), although if you're hellbent on fishing the Ott river proper, i would stay somewhere closer to Mattawa

the entire Mattawa route is PP. Camp anywhere you like really.

 

Sam De Champ would be my choice as well for a maintained park. Nice and quiet. Just watch out for those rangers if you like evening fun.Good pike, bass and burbot in Moore lake.
