Westport Waterfront
“The heart of the Rideau Lakes” — a village on Upper Rideau Lake at the head of the Rideau Canal, 40 minutes from Kingston.
Overview
Head of the Rideau Canal
Westport sits on Upper Rideau Lake at the very head of the iconic Rideau Canal — the highest point on the system — making it a destination by boat or by car. It's the smallest incorporated village in Ontario with municipal water and sewer, home to about 600 year-round residents.
About 40 minutes north of Kingston and 75 from Ottawa, it pairs a busy municipal harbour with a bustling downtown of shops and restaurants beneath the Foley Mountain lookout.
