Foley Mountain Conservation Area

High atop a granite ridge overlooking the historic Upper Rideau waterway and presiding over the beautiful village of Westport some 200 feet (65 meters) below. The Rideau Valley Conservation Authority's Foley Mountain offers 325 hectares (800 acres) of woods, ponds and fields — yours to enjoy. We planned to take photos at Westport but a storm rolled in and cut our trip short so we plan to visit again as the town of Westport has a Beautiful Marina and lots of stores for finding that perfect gift.
