Please Note: Napanee River Tours is part of The Waterfront River Pub and Terrace but is separately licensed and operated. IF your wish to come for a river cruise and then have dinner or lunch on The Terrace either pre or post tour, it is strongly recommended you reserve a table at The Waterfront through our online reservation system which can be accessed through google or our website.
The Napanee River is known not only for its beauty, but for the fact that it has its own tide. The river will rise and lower regularly between six and sixteen inches. This phenomenon is known as a seiche tide and is a function of several factors, including a strong push of wind to the north shore of Lake Ontario.
