You mean 416 to 401; 417 will land you in Montreal.
The Perth/Westport route is probably the most scenic, but there are a few places
where the proper place to turn is a little obscure.
If the goal is to get from Ottawa to Kingston, highway 15 through Smiths Falls
is pretty scenic and has fewer confusing turns.
If the goal is to get from Ottawa to Toronto, highway 7 and then 37 south
through Tweed is the shortest, and may be the fastest--the 401/416 route is a
good 80 km longer.
