Welcome to the Town of Westport!

Westport is located at the west end of Upper Rideau Lake, at the head of the navigable Rideau Canal system. A public wharf on a man-made island has dock space for up to 30 vessels. Fees are charged according to the going rates along the Rideau System. The harbour also has a picnic area, barbecues, and sewage pumpout facilities.

Accomodation is plentiful, with numerous cottages, lodges, tent and trailer parks and campgrounds. Westport has its own public beach and there's one at Sand Lake, just west of the village, too.
