Montgomery's Inn, a 19th-century colonial tavern, has been a landmark in Etobicoke for over 180 years. Restored to its heyday of 1847, the Inn still extends its tradition of hospitality, started by the Montgomerys in the 1830s. Visitors can view the lodgers' bedrooms, the bar room, second floor assembly room and the Montgomery family bedrooms, sitting room and office. The inn has a tea room for visitors.
The park has hiking trails along the Humber River valley. It is a good spot to watch the fall salmon run up the Humber River. While walking from the subway station, take a look at the public spaces around the very quaint Old Mill hotel where there are some ruins of an old water mill. You cross into the park over a very attractive stone bridge built in 1916.
For railfans: GO Transit (commuter trains) and Via Rail (inter-city trains) have their maintenance facilities and storage yards here. Railfans can get great views from the Islington Avenue bridge over the yards.
This very attractive pedestrian/bicycle bridge connects the Sunnyside Boardwalk in Toronto/West End to Humber Bay Shores. The bridge is over the mouth of the Humber River, and offers a good view of the CN Tower on its south side.
