Village of Westport
This scenic village is called "The Heart of Rideau Lakes" because of its location at the west end of Upper Rideau Lake at the head of the navigable Rideau Canal system. It has a public wharf on a man-made island with dock space for up to 30 vessels. The harbour also has a picnic area. Anglers and water sport enthusiasts can try their luck on Upper Rideau Lake, Westport Lake and Sand Lake, to name just a few. This is a vacation paradise for boaters, hikers and outdoor enthusiasts.
Westport is known for its scenic downtown core and its many shopping opportunities. You'll find a variety of shops displaying crafts, arts, jewelry, furnishing, delicious foods and much more. Accommodations are plentiful with numerous cottages, lodges and campgrounds. For a spectacular view of the Westport basin hike up to Spy Rock on Foley Mountain.
