St. Lawrence Islands National Park

　　St. Lawrence Islands National Park is located in the Thousand Islands region of Ontario and was established in 1904. Covering an area of 24.4 square kilometers, it consists of 21 main islands and numerous smaller islets. Most parts of the park are accessible only by boat, with just 9 square kilometers of land. Some of the islands are equipped with picnic and camping facilities.

　　The park comes alive with its rocky islets, wind-swept pine trees, cool waters, and gently rocking boats. Built around water, the islands rise from the water like green mushrooms when viewed from above. Indigenous peoples were the first to inhabit the area, fishing and hunting here as early as 10,000 years ago, leaving behind a wealth of artifacts, including a 2,500-year-old pot discovered in 1979. The park offers a wide variety of recreational activities suitable for every season, such as birdwatching, boating, kayaking, fishing, hiking, geocaching, scuba diving, swimming, wildlife viewing, and kiteboarding.
