The river stretch of the Rideau Canal from Smiths Falls through Merrickville and Burritts Rapids toward Ottawa. More about Rideau River.
Direct waterfront means the lot reaches the water, so you can swim, dock a boat and watch the sun set from your own shore. Frontage, shoreline type and exposure do most of the work on price. A hundred feet of hard sand facing west is not the same as a hundred feet of weedy bay facing north, so compare lakes and shorelines as carefully as you compare buildings.
