First Annual Wallaceburg Baldoon Paddle

Wallaceburg Baldoon Paddle Event is being introduced in celebration of Wallaceburg's 150th Anniversary, recognizing the critical importance of the waterways.  From the first settlers arriving along the St Clair River and travelling down the waterways, through the Snye and into the Sydenham, the path was critical in the determination of the location and start of the town of Wallaceburg.

Wallaceburg was designated as a hub for international freighters harvesting the plentiful supply of oak trees that were loaded onto ocean freighters and transported to England.  

Two routes have been designated to allow all paddlers and paddle craft the opportunity to experience the unique paddling opportunities of the area.
