The town of Smiths Falls has an important history in the development of Eastern Ontario. The town is named for Thomas Smyth, a United Empire Loyalist who in 1786 was granted four hundred acres in what is present-day Smiths Falls.
Lanark County is the Maple Syrup Centre of Ontario. For the tourist, this area is oozing with maple syrup tours, sugar shacks, and farm sales shops. With maple groves come spectacular fall colours and scenic hikes/drives/boat tours.
