Hudson is a town in the county of Vaudreuil, province of Quebec, Canada, about 60 kilometres west of Montreal. It sits on the southern shore of the Lake of Two Mountains, near the confluence of the Ottawa and St. Lawrence Rivers. Although now an easy 45-minute highway drive from Montreal, it was once an isolated village of mainly Scottish and English farmers, and briefly a lakeside cottage getaway. Much of its past can still be seen today, with large, turn-of-the-century homes, pretty lakeside views, tree-lined streets and the English-inspired architecture of the town centre. These features make it a popular daytrip for Montrealers, particularly in the summer.
