Among the Thousand Islands
St. Lawrence River
Rocky islands rise from the St. Lawrence River. Trees find places to grow between the stones. Channels separate these little pieces of land.
Did you know?
Here, the St. Lawrence crosses the Frontenac Arch, a wide band of very old rock.
Look together
How many separate islands can you spot?
An idea to try
Draw a river with five islands of different sizes.
For the adult reading along
A little more to discover
The Thousand Islands region lies where the St. Lawrence meets the Frontenac Arch, an area of ancient rock. The national park protects some of these environments. The illustration combines imagined islands; it is not a navigation route. This territory also has a long Indigenous history.
