Founded in 1974, Maskwa has been the centre of Halifax’s paddling community for 46 years, and has developed junior and elite-level paddlers, including 2012 Olympic bronze medalist, World Champion, and world record holder Mark de Jonge.
Maskwa won back to back national championships in 2016 and 2017. This is truly an amazing accomplishment that Maskwa shoots to win more of.
Located on beautiful Kearney Lake, Maskwa is proud of its state-of-the-art clubhouse and boathouse located on a beautiful wooded property at the end of Saskatoon Drive.
As the only recreation facility of its kind in Halifax, Maskwa is your destination for sporting excellence and family fun on the water. Come check us out today!
