Smiths Falls
Small town in Eastern Ontario where the Rideau Canal — a UNESCO World Heritage waterway — passes through the centre, with four locks lifting boats across a combined rise of over 15 metres. Smiths Falls sits southwest of Ottawa with a café and restaurant scene that would suit a town twice its size, and the canal gives the town a genuine waterfront character that draws independent travellers making their way along the route.
