Perth

The entire Heritage Downtown Core is situated on a few square blocks. Every store and restaurant is within easy walking distance of any of the downtown parking lots.

Many of the stores are wheelchair friendly, and a new program to provide portable wheelchair ramps for older style stores has been initiated.

The "big box stores", "strip mall" and most motels are situated up on Highway #7. Generally you will need a car to get to any of these places.

The Downtown Core can be reached from the Rideau Canal system via the Tay Canal - teminating at the Tay Basin in downtown Perth. Large boats will find they can get no further than the Last Duel Campground due to very low bridges between the campground and the Tay Basin. Smaller boats, canoes and kayaks should be able to navigate under these bridges.
