It is on the interprovincial border with Qu\u00e9bec, near Highway 417 between Ottawa and Montr\u00e9al.<\/p>\n<p>The village of Saint-Eug\u00e8ne is located in the St. Lawrence Lowlands. The water for the village is supplied by the Rigaud River, a tributary of the Ottawa River.<\/p>\n<p>Hawkesbury is touted as the third most bilingual town in Ontario, with about 70% of its inhabitants being fluent in English and French, the two official languages of Canada. (Sturgeon Falls is first with 73.4% followed by Hearst at 71%.) 89% of the population is made up of French speaking Franco-Ontarians.<\/p>\n<h4>CHAMPLAIN AND THE OTTAWA RIVER<\/h4>\n<p>The Ottawa River has made a remarkable contribution to Canadian heritage as a route of European exploration. Beginning in the early 17th century, the French followed its waters on their way deep into North America\u2019s interior. Famous French explorers such as Champlain, Br\u00fbl\u00e9, Vignau, Nicollet, Radisson, Jolliet, Dulhut, De Troyes, and La V\u00e9rendrye, as well as British explorers such as Mackenzie and Franklin, canoed the river\u2019s waters on many of the most important European voyages of exploration into North America\u2019s interior.<\/p>\n<p>The story of European exploration along the Ottawa River can be said to have begun with the vision and efforts of Samuel de Champlain. Geographer, explorer, as well as colonizer and founder of Quebec City, where he carried out most of his works, Champlain was the first to publish maps of the Ottawa River and names of topographic features in the Ottawa region as well as in Hull, Pontiac, and Renfrew counties. By the time he began exploring the Ottawa River in 1611, he had already sailed the St. Lawrence, explored the mouths of the Saguenay and the Richelieu, and founded colonies in Acadia and Quebec.<\/p>\n<p>Although the Ottawa is often called \u201cChamplain\u2019s River\u201d, Champlain was not in fact the first European to canoe on its waters or to witness its beauties; rather it was Champlain\u2019s emissary, Etienne Br\u00fbl\u00e9, who deserves the credit. Around 1608, Br\u00fbl\u00e9 was the first European to paddle up the Ottawa at the young age of 19. He is known to have made his way to the Georgian Bay via the Mattawa River by 1611, and was the first European to see Lake Huron (Legget 1975: 31). Unfortunately, Br\u00fbl\u00e9 did not leave any written records of this voyage.<\/p>\n<p>Accompanied by Vignau, Champlain himself first ventured along the Ottawa in 1613. He had been planning a trip up the Ottawa River after encountering Br\u00fbl\u00e9 and a group of Hurons and Algonquins near Lachine in 1611. In addition to following up on Vignau\u2019s reports of a \u201cNorthern Sea\u201d, Champlain sought to further extend the French trade in furs already established at Tadoussac, and to learn more about the Ottawa River. Through his thorough written records, we are able to reconstruct his voyages with some accuracy.<\/p>\n<p>The journey was long and arduous. On the way, Champlain nearly lost his life lining his canoe up the Long Sault rapids. With the assistance of additional Algonquin guides, the group traveled along a chain of lakes (via Muskrat Lake) to avoid the most dangerous waters. Champlain, Vignau and the Algonquin guides then went to meet with powerful Algonquin chief Tesso\u00fcat at his settlement, probably at Morrison Island (across from today\u2019s Pembroke).<\/p>\n<p><em>Source: The Ottawa River Heritage Designation Project<\/em><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_13308\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-13308\" style=\"width: 690px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-13308 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/routechamplain.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Ile-petrie-04-06-2013.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"690\" height=\"430\" srcset=\"https:\/\/routechamplain.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Ile-petrie-04-06-2013.png 690w, https:\/\/routechamplain.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Ile-petrie-04-06-2013-300x187.png 300w, https:\/\/routechamplain.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Ile-petrie-04-06-2013-450x280.png 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 690px) 100vw, 690px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-13308\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">L&#8217;Echo d&#8217;un Peuple, \u00cele P\u00e9trie, June 4th, 2013<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div id=\"sppb-addon-wrapper-1543853230100\" class=\"sppb-addon-wrapper\">\n<div id=\"sppb-addon-1543853230100\" class=\"clearfix \">\n<div class=\"sppb-addon sppb-addon-header sppb-text-center\">\n<h1><a href=\"https:\/\/www.destinationontario.com\/en-ca\/regions\/ottawa-and-countryside\/prescott-russell\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"field-wrapper\">Prescott &amp; Russell<\/span><\/a><\/h1>\n<div class=\"field-wrapper body field field-node--body field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden\">\n<div class=\"field-items\">\n<div class=\"field-item\">\n<p>Referred to as \u2018Ottawa\u2019s Backyard\u2019, The United Counties of Prescott &amp; Russell is an amalgamation of two\u00a0counties east of the national capital.
