Better known to its neighbours and inhabitants as "Swisha", the beautiful Village of Rapides Des Joachims is situated in Pontiac County's scenic Aberdeen Township. The Village occupies a five mile long island in the Ottawa River, mid-way between Pembroke and Mattawa.

A five minute drive from where County Route 635 leaves the Trans-Canada Highway 17 in Rolphton, Ontario and will bring you to one of Canada's few remaining single-lane Interprovincial bridges. Another two minutes puts you at the Swisha waterfront, boat launch and our free public docking facilities.

From the waterfront there is an unparalleled vista looking down the Ottawa River..., framed by the Laurentian Mountains. The mountain side opposite the waterfront hosts one of Canada's rare Eagle reserves, where these majestic birds gather to fish in the waters of the mighty Ottawa River.

You can launch your boat at the waterfornt, purchase supplies such as fuel, ice or bait, and fish in the Ottawa River, using either your Ontario or your Quebec fishing license. Tie up your boat at the free daily docking provided by the Municipality, or arrange for the Waterways services to trailer your larger boat around the HydroDam and lauch you back into the river where you can cruise the Ottawa River worry-free as far as Mattawa. Our Village remains a quiet haven where you can take a moment to relax and get to know the real Ottawa Valley.
