St. Lawrence River, NY/Canada
St. Lawrence River, NY/Canada
The St. Lawrence River begins at the Thousand Islands. There are actually 1,800 islands filling an area 15 miles wide at the Lake Ontario end, then tapering to 5 miles over a downstream distance of about 50 miles.
Because these islands were once mountain peaks, water depths between them can change abruptly from more than 50 feet to nothing.
The islands themselves range from tiny granite outcroppings to forested land large enough to support a village.

Nestled at the junction of three picturesque rivers, Ottawa is one of the world's most beautiful capitals. The city also borders the province of Québec, creating a dynamic milieu in which both French and English cultures are deeply rooted. The city's rich ethnic diversity also includes thriving German, Lebanese, Italian, Polish, Dutch, Portuguese and Asian communities. Throughout the year, the many cultural communities celebrate their heritage with colorful festivals and events. The result is a truly cosmopolitan experience.
The seat of Canada's federal government, Ottawa is a major center for the visual and performing arts, yet the city still retains the accessibility, atmosphere and charm of a smaller town, and it is rich in open green spaces, parks and wilderness areas. Sightseeing tours and self-guided walking tour information is readily available.
