What a great time of music and paddling on the Madawaska river!

BKWMF 2025 (Sept 19-21) was a hit! Fun times appeared to be had by all and everyone seems ready to sign up for next year's. Stay tuned for more information which will be provided on this page in the spring.

What is it?

Every September, Split Rock Outdoors hosts a small canoeing and music festival that we call Bob's Kitchen Whitewater and Music Festival. We base camp for two nights on the Madawaska River and paddle 12km of the best whitewater the river has to offer. We offer the option of running the river both Saturday and Sunday. The evenings and filled with music around the fire and jovial revelry (and maybe some disco lights).

Bob's its a great opportunity for people new but interested in whitewater canoeing to come and try it out with some experienced paddlers. It's also an opportunity for those who don't even want to paddle to chill on an awesome large campsite and beside a beautiful river.
