Matagami is the «Gateway to James Bay Territory» and much more still. Take your time and discover what our region has to offer. Matagami offers an outstanding quality of life in a setting where nature is all-around. Besides numerous facilities, our young town also has several activities in store for you.

Where else can you find 3.5 km of hiking trails right downtown? What about the endless winters? Think instead about the extended snowmobile season you will enjoy! 40 kilometers of local trails converge towards federated trails. Hunting and fishing aficionados won't be disappointed either.

With its numerous lakes and rivers, our region is an ice fishing paradise. You may not think of a northern region in terms of summer fun. However, we offer you a campground, tennis courts, a golf course, and even a beach. Since the length of daylight is greater than in southern areas, you will be able to enjoy your favourite outdoor activities much longer!

Matagami is also the gateway to a multicultural territory in which Jamesian, Inuit and Cree communities coexist. In visiting us, you will have the opportunity to be exposed to the natives' culture. It is, after all, from the Crees that our city got its name.
