Moving in Rideau Lakes township? Get one flat-rate number from a licensed & insured crew. Call 613-800-0917
Between Perth, Smiths Falls and Kingston lies the prettiest stretch of the Rideau system: Westport under Foley Mountain, Portland on the Big Rideau, Delta with its old stone mill, Elgin, Newboro at the old canal works. It’s cottage country that’s steadily becoming year-round country, and Men In Trucks Moving Inc. serves all of it — our own truck, our own crew, one written number before load day, and waterfront access planned before the truck rolls.

Local knowledge that saves moving-day time
Lake-country moving is mostly won before the truck leaves: which lane can take a 26-footer, whether the lot slopes to the water, what’s in the boathouse, and whether the bunkie counts as a second address. We settle those at quote time. Westport’s compact village core takes a little truck-positioning care in summer; Portland and Newboro are straightforward. Summer Fridays and month-ends book first — if your closing is fixed, call early.
Frequently asked questions — Rideau Lakes moves
Do you actually service the villages, or just the big towns?
All of Rideau Lakes township is regular territory — Westport, Portland, Elgin, Delta, Newboro and the roads between. The flat first-3-hours rate covers the trip out wherever you are.
Can a full-size truck reach a waterfront lot?
Usually — and when it can’t, we plan a shuttle from the nearest safe standing spot. Describe the lane (surface, slope, turnaround) at quote time and it’s solved before load day.
Do you handle downsizing to Perth, Smiths Falls or Kingston?
Constantly — it’s the region’s most common move. We quote from your actual inventory, and multi-destination delivery can be planned at quote time.
Do you move boathouse and dock contents?
Yes — tell us at quote time what’s coming off the water side and it’s planned work, not a move-day surprise.
How far ahead should I book?
Two to three weeks for summer and month-end dates — cottage-season Fridays go first. Off-season, shorter notice usually works.
