The Wallaceburg Baldoon Paddle Event is proudly in their second year.  We are steadfast in celebrating Wallaceburg and that which the local waterways offers to the paddling enthusiast while remembering the historical and ongoing importance of our local waterways. From the arrival of the first settlers along the St. Clair River, through the Snye River, and into the Sydenham River, this natural corridor played a critical role in the founding and development of the town.

In its early days, Wallaceburg became a hub for international ships. One of the town’s first major industries—logging—capitalized on the rich supply of oak trees in the area. These were harvested by early settlers, transported along the waterways, and loaded onto vessels bound for England.

To continue to honour our heritage and showcase the region’s scenic beauty, two paddle routes have been designated. These routes offer paddlers of all skill levels and craft types a chance to experience the unique and historic waterways that helped shape Wallaceburg.​
