The town of Newboro is designated the 'Home Port of the Rideau'. It's an apt designation, as the canal next to the town proved to be its most difficult engineering feat; Newboro is also the watershed divide of the new canal system. Newboro Lake represents the head of the Cataraqui watershed, with all water draining south to Lake Ontario. Points north are included in the Rideau watershed and drain to the Rideau River leading to the Ottawa River. Entirely enclosed within the Frontenac Arch Biosphere Reserve, the landforms around Newboro Lake are a study in contrasts: exposed granite rock faces give way to lowlands that are underwater part of the year.
The diverse geology encourages a wide variety of wildlife, both year-round and seasonally. The many bays, inlets and coves invite the canoe or kayak enthusiast to explore. Fishermen haunt the margins of islands and shorelines for smallmouth bass, pike, pickerel, rock bass, pumpkinseed, bluegill, black crappie, yellow perch, rainbow smelt, lake chub, and particularly largemouth bass.
