The spectacular Chasm of the Brickooski River, also often called the Great Chasm of Bricklyn, or simply “the Chasm,” is a League of Inland Cities designated Heritage Site. The Brickooski River, which runs through the Chasm, divides part of the City of Bricklyn (seen on the left) from the City of South Bricklyn (seen on the right).

The instantly iconic Swiftbrick Railroad Bridge spanning the Chasm, named in honor of Bricklyn astronaut Tom Swiftbrick, was completed in 2016. Its opening dramatically improved links between Bricklyn’s and South Bricklyn’s downtowns.

The renowned French restaurant, L’Étoile du Nord can be found on the Left Bank near the historic Stotterbrick pedestrian bridge visible in the distance in the above photo.

During periods of high water flow intrepid Bricklynites enjoy kayaking through the Chasm. In some ways this activity can be viewed as an “adult” version of teenagers’ thrill at having their heads popped off by oncoming Brickstar trains!
