When you think about visiting a National Park, you may think you have travel to an area far from where many people live to enjoy the park. While in some cases this is certainly true, when you think about planning a visit to Thousand Islands National Park in Ontario, you will find it is very possibly close to where you live!
- Thousand Islands National Park is located on the Saint Lawrence River between Kingston and Brockville, Ontario, and consists of 21 islands, numerous smaller islets, three mainland properties, and a visitor center.
- It is one of the oldest and smallest National Parks in Canada, but there is no shortage of things to do when visiting Thousand Islands National Park!
- It is renowned for its granite islands, rare biodiversity, and boating opportunities.
- The islands are actually the exposed, glacier-worn tops of an ancient mountain range. The area lies within the Frontenac Arch Biosphere—a vital ecological link connecting the Canadian Shield to the Adirondack Mountains.
