Nestled on the banks of the Upper Rideau Lake at the foot of Foley Mountain, Westport is the largest village in the Rideau Lakes area. Open all year Foley Mountain Conservation Area features 308 hectares of scenic lookouts, nature trails, mature pine forest, beaver ponds and shoreline on Upper Rideau Lake where you can hike, swim, and picnic in summer or cross country ski and snow shoe in winter. The view of Westport from Spy Rock is truly spectacular.
With several wonderful B&Bs, cottage rentals, a motel and a country inn, you are sure to find the perfect accommodation to suit your needs whether for a day, a week or a month. Excellent shopping with unique shops offer everything from gifts and one of a kind fashions to antiques and original art. There is also a choice of restaurants, a piano bar, a road house and a British style pub in which to dine or relax.
The Rideau District Museum, 29 Bedford Street, provides a look at the history of the area. Copies of a self guided walking tour brochure can be obtained from the museum and the Visitor Welcome Centre, 1 Spring Street. The tour gives a glimpse into the history of the town and takes you to many of the historic buildings still commonplace in the village.
You can walk on a beach, swim in a lake or just enjoy an ice cream while watching the world go by. There are so many activities it will be hard to decide which to do first.
Within 45 minutes drive of Westport there are over 30 golf courses, two of which are located just outside the village. Both are open to the public and boast beautiful fairway views of lakes.
Westport and area is a core for hiking and cycling enthusiasts. The 300 km Rideau Trail linking Kingston and Ottawa passes through Foley Mountain Conservation Area where other trails can also be explored. There are also many other Parks and Conservation Areas within easy driving distance that offer many hiking opportunities. Cycling is not allowed in most of the parks but the backroads and the new Cataraqui Trail offer cyclists the perfect opportunity to enjoy the country side.
From May until mid-October boaters can take advantage of Westport's Municipal Dock located on Upper Rideau Lake, part of the Rideau Canal system which links Kingston and Ottawa. The village is easily accessible via a footbridge. Also within easy driving of Westport are dozens of lakes, which range in size from small to large, and which are suitable for all water related activities including canoeing and small craft boating. You can fish summer and winter for bass, pike, walleye and lake trout (depending on the fishing season). Boat and canoe rentals are available.
