Islands
Here Ontario and the United
States meet... their cultures blending in the waters of the mighty St.
Lawrence and Great Lake Ontario. The native peoples called this region the
“Garden of the Great Spirit.” Today, many people still remark that this
gorgeous garden of woods and waters that is the 1000 Islands is truly one
of the most beautiful places on the planet. Others will tell you its
friendly atmosphere, fresh outdoors and laid-back pace makes the 1000
Islands a place that inspires the spirit and renews the soul. There are
actually over 1,800 islands. The islands are unique, offering a wonderful
recreation experience that spans two nations. Each island has its own
individuality with features such as stately granite cliffs, soft sandy
bays, tall dark pines and vibrant maple trees. Many islands are privately
owned but ample public access can be found at island parks
throughout the region. |
