Welcome to the ‘City of 1000 Islands’

 

The City of Brockville has long been known as ‘the City of the 1000 Islands’ steming from it’s long connection to this famed tourism region. In fact, cruises of the Thousand Islands originated in Brockville, at least on the Canadian side of the river, when Brockville was a major railway destination, before the popularity of the automobile.

Older residents of the City still reminisce of the days when buses lined the main street, delivering passengers to the famed Snider Boat Tours and King Street was lined with hotels and restaurants to service them. Back then, a cruise of the 1000 Islands was an all-day affair, consisting of 5 or 6 hours of cruising with a ‘Shore Lunch’, consisting of locally caught fresh fish, was served on one of the Islands.

Forward a century later; life is alot faster and most people don’t have a whole day to spend on the River. But, as the significance of ‘history and heritage’ gains traction over the ‘fast and furious’, Brockville has re-established it’s rightfull place amongst the Country’s premier tourism destinations.

Here in Brockville, we liken ourselves to Niagara-on-the-Lake; a quaint historic village amongst the complexity of Niagara Falls. Come, relax and enjoy the BEST of what the Thousand Islands has to offer.If you are in the market for superclone Replica Rolex ,https://www.fakewatch.is/ Super Clone Rolex is the place to go!
