Nearby towns like Elgin, Westport,Chaffey's Lock, Newboro, or Smith's Falls offer souvenirs, antiques, restaurants, groceries, beer, and fishing licenses. About 40 miles away is Kingston which offers movies, malls, museums, and Old Fort Henry. To learn more about the Rideau Canal and the area, log on to a wonderful website which tells you all about The Rideau Waterway.
A day away from the lake may include sightseeing in Ottawa,the nation's capital, an early morning round of golf in Westport, or a visit to the casino in Gananoque.
For a fun adventure, lock through a portion of the historic and beautiful Rideau Canal. The canal links the lakes and rivers between Ottawa and Kingston at Lake Ontario.
Anyone who has traveled to our area knows about Newboro and Westport and their wonderful stores like The Village Green and Kilbourns. We also like to head up to Smith's Falls for Canadian Tire, Walmart, fast foods, and other variety stores.
A gorgeous picture of the Chaffey's Mill in the Fall. I "borrowed" this photo from the Facebook group known as "Chaffeys Lock Rocks." Check it out for doings and fun in Chaffey's year round.
