Foley Mountain Conservation Area

Foley Mountain Conservation Area is a protected natural area in eastern Ontario’s Rideau Valley above Upper Rideau Lake and Westport. Known as the highest conservation area in the valley, it features elevated lookouts, woods, ponds, open fields, and diverse wildlife across about 325 hectares, or 800 acres. Along with its conservation role, it offers outdoor recreation, including a sandy beach with changing facilities. The Rideau Trail, a long-distance footpath linking Kingston and Ottawa, passes through the area. Its importance lies in combining protected habitat, public access to nature, and sweeping views over the surrounding lake country.
