Town of Brome Lake

Town of Brome Lake

Established on the shores of Lake Brome, with the hills in the backround and surrounded by remarkable landscapes, the Town of Brome Lake enjoys a unique natural environment. The Appalachian and the Montérégienne mountain ranges create a magnificent setting, while the lake attracts swimming, sailing and kayaking enthusiasts. In fact, locals and visitors alike love to laze away time at Douglass Beach during the summer. Otherwise, golf, cycling and skiing in the nearby resorts provide plenty of options for all those who cherish the great outdoors.

Created in 1971 through the merger of seven villages, the Town of Brome Lake now has a population of over 5,000 residents. Its heritage, marked by Loyalist and Victorian influences, is reflected through many beautiful ancestral homes, the renowned Auberge Knowlton (the oldest hotel in the Eastern Townships, in operation since 1849) and the Lac-Brome Museum.

Noteworthy: the town benefits from the presence of many antique shops showcasing the region’s rich past.

Culture plays an important role here. Since the 1930s, the Brae Manor Playhouse summer theatre has been a source of pride for the region. Today, art galleries, theatres, festivals, shows and heritage tours create a vibrant ambiance in the community all year round.

When it comes to local flavours, Brome Lake is renowned for its Courville and Val Brome vineyards, its cafés and restaurants, and, of course, the highly renowned Brome Lake Ducks, specializing in breeding Peking ducks since 1912.

Town of Brome Lake also proposes a wide range of lodging options for visitors hoping to stay for a few days.
