Welcome to Portland Ontario, Canada!

While Portland is steeped in history, most of today’s visitors merely come to enjoy themselves, relax, and take in the beautiful scenery of Portland-on-the-Rideau.
You may also visit local antique shops, gift shops and crafters markets. In the surrounding area, the Forfar Cheese Factory, one of the last independently owned cheese factories in the area is where you can buy world famous cheeses and curd made right at the factory. Visit the Mill Pond Conservation Area for a hike, all year round. The Cataraqui trails is also very near to the Forfar Cheese Factory and can also be enjoyed in all seasons.
