Boat into Portland

Set on Big Rideau Lake, Portland has been a boating community for hundreds of years. Very welcoming to boaters, you will find waterfront dining, a café, pizzeria, art gallery and shops including grocery, spirits, post office and a bank within walking distance of the harbour and marinas.

At the new Portland Community Hall, the Rideau Lakes Public library offers public washrooms and free Wi-Fi. Outdoors, enjoy beautiful Hanna Park, swimming at Portland Community Beach or venture to the Cataraqui Trail offering 104 kms for cycling or nature walks just east of the village. The Emmanuel Heritage Centre (formerly the Anglican Church, 1861) built of fine local sandstone at the crest of Portland Hill, stands as the landmark of the village.
