My favourite place to watch the river from my car on chilly days. My friend and I grab our coffee and tea and head down to sit and catch up. Beautiful

Very beautiful location with an amazing view. Went with my friends and family over the weekend and it was just perfect. Loved the weather when we went, it was sunny and a little chilly, just the way I like it. There is enough parking and it's easily accessible.

Very good food, I do recommend to get your staff door fixed, while eating on your patio all we can hear is your door slamming every time a staff member comes and goes.it is very annoying gave me a headache

Nice place for picnic, walk, spending time outdoors.

Always a pleasure walking around blockhouse especially when the ships are going by. Also great for a #LoserLap around the island in your vehicle.

Nice little scenic walkable path along the StLaurent River with a bunch of clean picnic table to choose from.

I mainly come here to fish. Nice place to relax for everyone. Most of the people are very polite and friendly and always stop and ask what I'm fishing for.

I think we need some volunteer hours and donations from companies to spruce the heck outta Blockhouse. Love this place!

Full view up and down the river. On clear days the international Bridge East of Prescott can be seen. Tour boats, which travel around the picturesque Brockville Islands leave from here. There is also a snack bar with outdoor seating.

My home town. Brockville water front is a little gem. If you have a boat going down the St. Laurence, it's worth a stop to enjoy our down town and its shops.

Great place to walk around with the family. There are plaques with historical information pertaining to ship wrecks, local history and wars. A playground for the kids for the history buffs in your family. The crows nest food area to grab a snack and enjoy the view of the river. There are bathrooms, a walking path around the peninsula, docks, boats, etc.

Troy Crowder

Awesome great place to go just to enjoy the scenery..

Kathryn Foss

Beautiful site in Brockville on the St Laurence River. Views of the city, river and ships passing. This place gives access to the river for fishing or even just relaxing. The marina is found on the inside of the island’s breakwater. Mooring spots for those traveling the river and even a customs station.

Terry Mallory

Has a family we've been going here, especially in the summer, to cool off. We're also visiting Canada's First Railway Tunnel, which we have toured on multiple occasions. More people need to see the tunnel, because it's a great way to see the past in Brockville. Brockville was founded in 1785, so there's a lot of historical buildings and places in there.

Tiffany Bissonnette Reed

Always love coming down to Blockhouse. It is a pretty, clean and great spot to watch the boats and wildlife.

It's a beautiful open waterfront on the St Lawrence river. We are blessed with being able to watch the big ships go by and able to go for a walk through the famous railway tunnel and ho for a walk around the island. It's just a gorgeous place to be able to go visit, grab an ice cream at the canteen, sit down and watch the breathtaking view of the St Lawrence river. ????
