Montague blends wide-open countryside with quick access to daily essentials, attracting people who want space without losing convenience. Weekends can swing from quiet mornings on the back deck to coffee and errands in nearby Smiths Falls, artisan shopping in Merrickville-Wolford, or a rink session and dinner in Carleton Place. Outdoor time often gravitates to the Rideau Canal, a UNESCO World Heritage Site managed by Parks Canada, where locks, trails, and shoreline picnics are a short drive away and boating season brings a steady parade of cruisers and kayaks along the storied waterway.
Families appreciate straightforward schooling options. Younger students attend the well-regarded Montague Public School, part of the Upper Canada District School Board, while many teens continue at Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute, known for academics, arts, and athletics. Catholic programs are available in nearby communities through the regional board, giving households meaningful choice as kids grow.
Everyday life runs smoothly thanks to the Township’s practical services—road maintenance, recreation bookings, permits, and community programming are coordinated through the Township of Montague. Healthcare is close at hand at the Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital’s Smiths Falls campus, and local halls and fields host year-round events, from craft shows to minor sports, that make it easy to meet your neighbours.
