Looking for a memorable vacation? Rediscover Smiths Falls!
The facilities are all open, the stores are stocked, and summer event calendars are full to the brim for this vacation season. Jeff Murphy, Tourism, Arts and Culture Coordinator for the Town of Smiths Falls said a little luck was involved in this year’s tourism strategy.
When the first shots fired in the US Canada trade war, Smiths Falls was quick to pivot and put some resources to attracting a market many other communities missed at the beginning.
Hidden gems are plentiful in Smiths Falls, and area residents sometime overlook them due to their familiarity. Jeff points to a major feature of the Town that makes it truly unique and offers a great variety of ways to enjoy and appreciate it.
In addition to scores of events, Smiths Falls also has two of the most unique places to stay in the beautifully restored Hotel Rideau and the Railway Museum of Eastern Ontario’s overnight cabooses.
