Brant Inn Node
Million Dollar Views
The Brant Inn Node links two of Burlington's busiest and most viable waterfront parks: Spencer Smith and Beachway.
This portion of the Waterfront Trail allows pedestrians and cyclists to follow a continuous 3 km path along the shoreline from the Travel Lodge to the Burlington Shipping canal. Spectacular vistas greet these visitors.
Other special features include:
- Extension of the wide Promenade walkway
- Three lookout points
- Cobble beach
- Attractive naturalized fish habitat pond
- Day-use boat tie up
Whatever the season, there is always something to experience here, from the on-shore breeze and the moon rising on a balmy summer's eve to the powerful wave impact upon the shore walls on a blustery winter's day.
Completion of the shoreline work has set the stage for the second phase of construction which will feature development of a commercial component to further enhance the site. Plans are well underway to enhance this site adding a waterfront centre with restaurant and public area, a year round water feature including a skating rink and many other amenities. Construction begins after the Sound of Music festival. The ultimate goal is to offer a variety of seasonal and year-round activities with an emphasis on recreation, food services, entertainment, culture and specialty retail attractions.
