Drummond/North Elmsley pairs lake-country scenery with everyday convenience, set between Perth and Smiths Falls and within an easy commute of Ottawa. Families and entrepreneurs appreciate the small-community feel, straightforward access via Highways 7 and 15, and practical local services overseen by the Township of Drummond/North Elmsley. Rooted in Lanark County, it offers the space to spread out while staying close to shopping, dining, and healthcare in nearby hubs like Carleton Place.
Outdoor time here is a way of life. The Rideau Canal National Historic Site threads through the township, inviting paddlers, powerboaters, and winter skaters. Launch at Rideau Ferry and linger at the shoreline picnic areas of the Rideau Ferry Yacht Club Conservation Area, or hike forested trails, swim, and spot wildlife at Murphys Point Provincial Park. Quiet backroads make for memorable cycling, and local farms keep markets stocked with maple, produce, and artisan goods.
Education options are strong: younger students attend Drummond Central School, while teens can choose Perth & District Collegiate Institute or nearby Catholic and French-language schools. Community halls, rink programs, and youth sports knit residents together, and day trips to heritage main streets, festivals, and theaters in Perth and Smiths Falls are effortless.
