Westport.

Westport sits at the western end of Upper Rideau Lake — the summit pool of the Rideau Canal at 124.65 m elevation, the highest body of water in the canal system — with the granite ridge of Foley Mountain Conservation Area rising directly above the village. The 308-hectare conservation area, run by the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority, carries roughly 10 km of trails through Frontenac Arch granite, including the Spy Rock cliff-edge lookout over the lake and roughly 8 km of the Rideau Trail's 450-km Kingston-to-Ottawa route running east-west through the property.

Down at the water, the seasonal Westport Municipal Harbour (May through October) opens onto 61 km² of Upper Rideau Lake, with through-canal navigation south to Newboro Lock and downstream to Big Rideau Lake via Narrows Lock. Goat Island sits offshore for harbour visitors.

Incorporated in 1904 and Ontario's smallest incorporated municipality by land area at 1.68 sq km, Westport is an enclave village within the Township of Rideau Lakes, roughly an hour and a half from both Ottawa and Kingston by road. The village sits on traditional Algonquin Anishinaabe territory.
