Luna island is located just north of Goat Island and at the edge Niagara Gorge. Luna island received its name from the lunar rainbow that was often seen from the view of the island.

Another historical marvel located in the Queenston Heights Park is Brocks Monument. Brock Monument is a historical monument built to honor Major-General Isaac Brock, who lead British troops into Upper Canada during the War of 1812. As American forces invade Queenston Heights, Major-General Brock lead his soldiers to battle, where they reclaimed Queenston Heights. Major-General Brock was injured during this trek, and was unable to return home. The original monument built for Brock was destroyed in 1840 and was rebuilt in 1853. Taking a stroll or a climb through Brocks Monument is sure to get your mind turning as you can see the history standing right before you. Fun for the whole family and history buffs alike!

If you’re a Canadian native you may already know of the brave journey go Laura Secord, but many of us are unaware of the courageous path she traveled. . .
During the War of 1812, Laura Secord traveled a 32 kilometre journey in order to warn the British of a planned American attack. Her home was invaded by American soldiers and was no longer her after 1835.
The home is located at Queenston Heights Park and is just a walk away from the Niagara River Recreation Trail. Stopping by to take a guided tour of this historical home would put the perfect touches to any old walk on the Trail.
