It covers over 450 square kilometres spreading out from the northeast tip of Lake Ontario, and sits where the lake and the St. Lawrence River meet. Nearby communities include Harrowsmith, Inverary, Odessa, and Gananoque. The city has a deep military influence, with a military college, an armed forces base, and historic sites related to the country’s military history.

The southern section has older and newer single-family homes, as well as condo options (some of which can be found along the waterfront).
