A Fond Farewell from Harrison Landing

After 16 unforgettable seasons, we are sharing that Harrison Landing has been sold to Haldimand County.

Owning and caring for Harrison Landing has been a true privilege for us. Over the years, Duane and Tammy have had the joy of meeting countless wonderful people and watching the park grow and evolve year after year. What began as a special place on the Grand River became a destination—one shaped by hard work, pride, and a deep love for this community.

What we will cherish most are the people and the moments. Harrison Landing became the backdrop for so many meaningful life events—weddings, family reunions, graduations, wedding and engagement photos, and moments of remembrance and memorials. We were honoured to witness these milestones and to see the park woven into so many personal stories. Along the way, we also loved tasting new cuisines, breaking bread, and sharing stories with people from many different walks of life, which only deepened the sense of community.

History also came to life at our launch. For many seasons, we were incredibly fortunate to be the home of two historic steam boats, helping to reignite the era of steam boating on the Grand River. One of these vessels completed a remarkable and historic journey from Harrison Landing to Brantford and back again, drawing attention, excitement, and admiration along the riverbanks. It could truly be said that Harrison Landing became the steam boat capital of Canada during the summer months, a chapter of living history we will always be proud of.

From two-year-olds learning to waterski to ninety-year-olds showing off on single slalom skis as they blast past the launch waving, the river was always alive with laughter, courage, and connection. Over time, Harrison Landing became more than a park—it became an extended family. We will deeply miss the warm, friendly, and fun interactions with our patrons, the conversations at the launch, and the shared appreciation for the beauty and spirit of the Grand River.

As we close this chapter, we do so with full hearts. While we will miss seeing all of you so regularly, we are looking forward to a new pace of life and to spending time enjoying our own boat on the tremendous Grand River, reflecting on just how lucky we have been.

Thank you for being part of our story and for making Harrison Landing a place filled with memories that will last a lifetime.

With heartfelt gratitude,
Duane & Tammy
