Welcome to the Municipality of Powassan

Nestled among breathtaking hills and surrounded by dozens of lakes and rivers, the Municipality of Powassan is a great place to live, play and visit. With a population of over 3,200, the entire municipality has a small-town, friendly atmosphere that welcomes newcomers and old acquaintances alike.

The Municipality of Powassan is a great place to be - all year round! In the summer,  clear, cool lakes beckon to the water enthusiast, while many sporting events for all activity levels are available throughout the community. All winter long, there's cross-country skiing, snowmobiling, ice-skating, ice fishing and more! And nearly every month, there's a festival or community event that's perfect for all ages.

Recently, the new Municipality of Powassan has undertaken several projects such as encouraging new developments in water quality, expanding the residential home for the aged, and creating new recreation programs for citizens of all ages.
