Westport a Great Place to Enjoy the Fall
Autumn has always had a way of transforming the beauty of nature into something charming and even more relaxing to the eyes. The City of Ottawa boasts of a number of excellent spots for great fall views, and some of them are a mere 10- to 20-minute drive away from your own home.
Westport, the largest village in the Rideau Lakes vicinity, is one such area that’s worth the drive. The village enjoys plenty of traffic from visitors and cottagers, and as such, offers plenty of shops, groceries and other specialty stores for you to check out. With an abundance of stores dedicated to specialty food, arts and crafts and unique clothing, Westport is the perfect getaway destination for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of the Big City.
Westport even has some events that coincide with the season. The 21st-annual Fall Colours Studio Tour is set to take place on the 9th to the 11th of October. The event is an open house of different local artists’ studios—a must see for any art buff in Ottawa. For more information on the event, click here.
When it comes to views, the lookouts of Foley Mountain Conservation Area, located just outside the village, are hard to beat. With picnic areas and scenic trails, this 325-hectare park is any nature-lover’s paradise.
