CLOSED as of October 3rd, for the 2020 season. Stay safe and see you in 2021. No fee but please look for our RED DONATION BINS. Key features of the Tunnel restoration include a paved concrete floor, a music program and state-of-the-art energy efficient lighting for safety and to highlight the Tunnel’s architecture and geology. Canada's First Railway Tunnel was completed in 1860 for the Brockville and Ottawa Railway and later owned by the CP Railway until being acquired by the City of Brockville in 1983. The Tunnel is a remarkable example of Canada’s pre-Confederation industrial heritage that has been repurposed for the benefit of recreation, tourism and economic development. . * Daily Access may be limited due to private rentals.

The Railway Tunnel is located in downtown Brockville and is a free attraction, although donations are welcomed. We stayed in an AirBnB in Brockville and were in walking distance to the tunnel. The tunnel is quite a bit cooler than the outside air and a light sweater or raincoat is good to have during summer months. Water occasionally drips from above, but it wasn’t too bad. You can walk the tunnel in about 30 minutes (one way). Inside the tunnel is a music and light show that lasts 90 minutes and repeats. The tunnel is open from spring to fall and closes after a special show around Halloween.

Last weekend was crazy in Brockville, Ribfest, the Grand Re-Opening of Canada's First Train Tunnel and the World's Largest Rubber Duck, so we grabbed some lunch and headed to St-Lawrence Park, because they have lots of picnic tables, free access and beautiful patios we can use. Surprisingly the place was pretty quiet which was the perfect place to go. Great breeze from the St-Lawrence River, accessible for swimming and watching the boats and Lakers go by. Also a camp site for those seeking a nice spot, bring the kids and enjoy a relaxing weekend.

Lovely place to walk around, see the boats that are in the Harbour and enjoy all the neat sights of downtown Brockville. There is pay parking on site and you could easily spend a few hours here walking around.

This is an actual airplane mounted on a concrete tower to commemorate the memory of allied solders in all previous wars.It was erected in 1968 on Brockville's peninsula park called Blockhouse Island, which projects into the St. Lawrence River. The story of the jet use in Canada's former aerobatic precision flying team is detailed on a historic plaque nearby.

This recently refurbished F86 Sabre jet is in the RCAF Golden Hawks livery and is not only a monument but also a war Memorial in memory of all those that paid the supreme sacrifice will serving in the RCAF. It is set in a beautiful park setting surrounded on three sides by the St.Lawrence river.
