Upper Rideau Lake
Moderate
Upper Rideau Lake is a large open body of water, so high winds can make paddling difficult.
Care should be taken to avoid the wash of power boats.
R oute Description:
Starting at Newboro Lockstation, you will travel north through a short length of canal (about
0.8 km) to McNally’s Bay – this was one of the few stretches of actual canal required during
construction of the Rideau. You are now leaving the Cataraqui River watershed and entering
the Rideau River watershed. This area marks the highpoint of the Rideau Canal system. From
here, water flows down to the Ottawa River (an approximate 80 metre drop) and to Lake
Ontario in Kingston (about 53 metres).
Continue west along the south shore of Upper Rideau Lake to the Village of Westport.
Docking is available at Westport Harbour, and excellent shopping, dining and
accommodations can be found within a short walk of the waterfront. An ATM (Main St.),
grocery store and LCBO (both on Church St.) are also located nearby.
While in Westport, visit the Rideau District Museum on Bedford Street, where visitors can
learn about the history of the Rideau Lakes region. Foley Mountain Conservation Area is
located half a mile to the north of the village, a beautiful panoramic view of Westport and
Upper Rideau Lake can be enjoyed from its Spy Rock lookout. It also features day-use
facilities such as trails and a public beach. For more information on Foley Mountain, visit the
Rideau Valley Conservation Authority website (see ‘Helpful Links’).
Upon departing Westport Harbour, follow the northern shoreline of the lake in an easterly
direction to Narrows Lock - where one of four blockhouses built for the defence of the
Rideau Waterway has been restored.
Communities
Paddlers have the option to follow the route from either Kingston – Ottawa OR Ottawa – Kingston.
If travelling from Ottawa to Kingston, please start from route 12 and work through to route 1.
