Profiles:
Route
Charming heritage homes and buildings, an intriguing railway tunnel,
and beautifully landscaped waterfront parks define Brockville's
contribution to the shores of the St. Lawrence River. Historical
photo plaques describe early years when railways and industry dominated
the waterfront.
- Crossing the St. Lawrence Parkway to Butternut Bay Rd requires
caution.
- Butternut Bay Rd. is a busy service road with little to no shoulders.
Caution required.
- King St. is a narrow downtown street with parking on both sides.
- Travelling towards Quebec (east) along King Street, it's easy
to miss the entrance to the stunning off-road trail that follows
the water's edge. Watch for Rotary Park on the north side of King
Street. Just as you cross the bridge over Buell's Creek, turn
north on to Gilmour St. Turn to your left to find the trail that
follows Buell's Creek. Take the Trail south to get to the waterfront.
