Brockville Railway Tunnel

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.

Half Moon Bay

Half Moon Bay is a natural rock bay formation on Bostwick Island that has been transformed into a summer place of worship for all. On Sunday afternoons during the summer, worshipers who come to Half Moon Bay,remain in their boats to sing hymns, listen to guest speakers and participate in a non-denominational service. The "Cathedral" is inspirational, humbling and natural. Services are at 4:00 p.m

Went on a Kayaking trip with 1000 Islands Kayaking Company and this magical place was one of our stopping points. Loved the history of the place as told by our Guide, River. A place to visit if you have a chance.
