Lanark County rewards everyday life with scenic rivers, heritage architecture, and a calendar full of local traditions, all within comfortable reach of Ottawa. Wander the limestone-lined downtown of Perth, sip and shop along the Mississippi River in Carleton Place, discover the mill heritage of Mississippi Mills, and watch locks in action beside cafés in Smiths Falls. Maple forests, sparkling lakes, and the Ottawa Valley Rail Trail make four-season recreation second nature, while artisan food, markets, and festivals keep community spirit front and center.
History and nature intersect on the UNESCO-listed Rideau Canal and at Murphys Point Provincial Park, where hiking, paddling, skiing, and wildlife viewing fill every season. Families appreciate a strong education network through the public and Catholic school boards, plus French-language options, and nearby postsecondary choices in Ottawa. Services, trails, and county programs are easy to navigate via the Lanark County website. Housing ranges from stone-century homes and red-brick semis to new-build subdivisions and tranquil waterfront retreats, offering options for first-time buyers, growing families, and downsizers alike.
