"Gananoque was once known as the Birmingham of Canada, with many factories producing metal products, wood products, leather and more using the water power of the Gananoque River."

Gananoque is also part of the Frontenac Arch Biosphere, officially designated by the National Geographic as the world's ninth Geotourism Region. Learn more →
