Rawdon pairs waterfall-to-forest adventure with everyday convenience. In the heart of Matawinie, a quick hop from Joliette and about an hour from Montreal, the town draws outdoor lovers, growing families, and weekenders seeking space, trails, and lakes. Town services are well organized through the Ville de Rawdon, making life smooth whether you’re commuting, running a business, or enjoying a seasonal escape.
Nature is a daily backdrop here. Stroll the dramatic gorge and forest paths around Dorwin Falls, cool off along the rapids at Parc des Cascades, or head to sandy shores on Lac Rawdon when summer hits. Winter flips the script with alpine laps at Ski Montcalm, while shoulder seasons shine with treetop zipline courses at Arbraska Rawdon and restorative soaks at La Source Bains Nordiques. Golfers can chase birdies at Club de Golf Rawdon, and hikers have broad access to the trail network of Parc régional de la Forêt Ouareau.
Families appreciate schooling options, including English instruction at Rawdon Elementary School and nearby francophone schools, plus active community programming and sports. Housing ranges from waterfront chalets and wooded lots to walkable in-town streets near cafés and services—perfect for buyers who want recreation without sacrificing amenities.
