Finkle's Shore Park

697 Main Street Bath Ontario
K0H 1G0
Finkle’s Shore is just to the west of Bath. Finkle’s brewery and tavern once stood here beside the Danforth Road. It was the site of the first hanging in Upper Canada. A Federal Plaque marks the launching of the steamship Frontenac in 1816, the first steamer built in Upper Canada. Now, much more child-friendly, the park has a short 0.8km trail and is known for the Finkle's Shore Gazebo. Built in 1997, the gazebo is primarily an event venue and can be booked for concerts, weddings, and any of the like! A boat launch, small park and picnic shelter are also available for you to enjoy. One of Bath’s best kept secrets sits across the street on the north side of the King’s Highway at Finkle Shore Park. The studio of the Tragically Hip is nestled in woods. Flowers left in tribute to Gord Downie adorn the security fence.
