Porter Island[5] is an island in the Rideau River, located just over 1 km from the mouth of the river, between the neighbourhoods of New Edinburgh and Lower Town in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.

Porter Island is connected to the Lowertown neighbourhood by the Porter Island Bridge and a closed off steel truss pedestrian bridge. The latter bridge, was built in 1894 by the Dominion Bridge Company, and was apparently closed off due to deteriorating wooden planks.[6] It is home to the Garry J. Armstrong Long Term Care Home and the Chartwell Rockcliffe Retirement Residence.[7]
