Portland Portland is a small village with a big heart located on the shores of the Big Rideau Lake, the largest lake in the Rideau Waterway. It is a boating centre with boat tours and boat rentals available to visitors. First settled in the early 1800's and originally known as the "The Landing", many of the fine homes built by these early settlers can still be admired today. With the completion of the Rideau Canal, Portland became a thriving village of trade with Kingston, Montreal and Ottawa. Interestingly, the village takes its name from William Cavendish-Bentinck, 3rd Duke of Portland. Tourism takes a lead role in Portland's economy. An international speed skating tournament is held each winter on the Big Rideau Lake at Portland. Nearby Colonel-By Island, operated by Parks Canada, offers a hiking trail and picnic facilities. Whether you enjoy browsing for antiques, golfing, or the lake experience, Portland is a most welcoming community. Portland hosts the sixth International Big Rideau Lake Speed Skating Marathon on Saturday January 31, 2009. For more information about that event visit www.portlandoutdoors.com
