Demonstration Rain Garden

Be sure to check out Portland Bay’s new demonstration rain garden and rain barrel promoting sustainable drainage in our watershed. The setup is part of a pilot project in partnership with the Township of Rideau Lakes, Cataraqui Conservation and Big Rideau Lake Association to show visitors how they can reduce runoff and keep contaminants out of our waterways.
